Rich history
As part of the Indus Recreation Centre, the Bill Heron Arena is a complete community skating facility. The original rink was generously donated by Bill Heron in 1973. In the early 90s, the arena was rebuilt with the help of numerous volunteer fundraisers. In 1994, it reopened its doors to the community, with an arena that has the seating capacity for 200 spectators. Priority for ice time is given to existing users, special events, priority user groups, renewal groups, new public groups and on a first-come, first-serve basis thereafter. All times are available in 15 minute increments, with a minimum of one hour reservations necessary. Contact the arena for availability and pricing. Meeting rooms with chairs and tables can hold up to 58 people and are available for rent, as well.
