WAKAW ARENA

Wakaw arena gets green light to reopen after carbon monoxide scare

Nov 24, 2023 | 7:37 AM

Wakaw’s arena has the green light to reopen.

The town’s Jubilee Arena was closed early last week when multiple children at an under-15 hockey tournament became sick due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

The town purchased new parts for the arena’s Zamboni ice resurfacer and installed a new furnace, as both were identified as potential sources of carbon monoxide.

Mike Markowski, Wakaw’s mayor, confirmed that the Saskatchewan Health Authority inspected the arena and gave the all-clear to reopen the facility on Wednesday afternoon.

All scheduled events at the arena are expected to go ahead as planned.
