In August 2020, the Town received confirmation that its application for the the Investing in Canada Infrastructure grant program (ICIP) was successful and it will receive $13.5M in funding from the federal and provincial governments to expand the current Dale Fisher Arena.
After proposing a scope change of this project from a rec facility to a twinned arena, the Town is still approved under the Federal ICIP program and the Government of Alberta endorsement for a combined total of $13.5 million.
The project was officially green lit on Nov. 1, 2022, by Town Council and construction is expected to be complete by 2024!
Expanded Facility Amenities
The design of the facility is still in preliminary stages, however based on feedback from the Devon community, some improvements the Town is considering in the expansion include:
With this new facility, additional ice time will be available and Town Administration will be working with local user groups to fill the extra time.
