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.
