The official Grand Opening will be October 13, 2010 when all three floors are scheduled to be completely operational and safe for public access. Phased use will continue to be implemented over the coming months and the public is asked to watch for more information to come.
Enerplex Statistics:
- First floor ice facilities include 2 NHL sized ice rinks, with boards and benches complete with protective netting.
- The second floor features a raised speed skating oval, one of only three indoor Olympic sized long tracks in North America.
- The third floor features a three lane walking track for use year round. It is 380 m in length and features a rubberized running surface.
- The facility has the capability to remove all ice surfaces in the summer months to accommodate major indoor events.
- Two concessions are found in the facility, one on the first and one on the second floor
PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The City is looking to forge mutually beneficial partnerships between the private and public sectors. For the corporate partner, the various naming rights opportunities can mean far more than the traditional advertising and marketing buys. These unique community-based promotions give a selected corporation a chance to showcase its name at Fort St John’s newest recreation facility, while creating a cost efficient method to advertise and brand itself to the many users and spectators that will frequent the facility.
For the City, revenues obtained through sponsorships will be directed back into the Enerplex facility budgets to assist in attracting new events and in continued facility capital improvements.
Congratulations to the following confirmed partners in the Enerplex:
- WL Construction - Rink Resurfacing machine ($20,000)
- Northern Vac - Walking Track ($150,000)

During this exciting time of firsts for the Enerplex, the City cautions the public that while the facility is in use, only the first two floors are open for public access. The walking track on the third floor is still undergoing the last phases of construction and will remain closed to public access. |
