Not sure how there's not already a thread for KV developments, or another one for Grand Bay and other suburban regions/ bedroom communities of Saint John. But here's one for KV!
This is a pretty big announcement for the future of recreation in Greater Saint John. Rothesay and Quispamsis both do much better jobs at investing in recreational facilities for their residents than Saint John does, but this facility will still be utilized by many residents of Saint John. The Saint John Region is really lacking in in terms of ice rinks, and it seems like any sort of "regional ice strategy" remains dead in the water.
I wonder, will Saint John residents have to pay a user fees to take part in free community programs offered at the new rink and multi generational recreation facility, like at the Q-Plex?
Saint John didn't end up imposing recreation user fees on KV residents to use their rinks and recreational facilities, so I hope that means Rothesay is willing to do the same here for SJ residents with these new facilities.
Does anyone know if the new Rothesay Arena will be a multiplex, and if so, how many ice surfaces? Any details on what is envisioned for this multigenerational recreation facility? All in all, it seems like a very positive development, and good to see government funding going towards building more rinks here in the Saint John Region.
