For more than 40 years, the G.H. Dawe Community Centre has provided recreation and cultural opportunities for Red Deer and Central Alberta. With it being in operation for four decades, it has given parents the opportunity to skate with their children on the same rinks they grew up on and swim in the same pools where they learned to swim. While the Centre has maintained its young-atheart feel when you walk through the doors, it was beginning to show its age, which precipitated a major and exciting expansion and renovation project that will bring the facility to modern standards by early 2023. At the centre of the $44 million project are the arenas; the existing surface is being upgraded to NHL standards, with a second surface being introduced. Other enhancements include an additional north entrance to the building, improved traffic flow, more parking, upgraded fitness spaces, 35 FEB 2023 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
