Activity at the Twin Arenas at Genesis Place in Airdrie has returned to normal following the closure and evacuation of the two arenas earlier this morning (February 3), because of a possible ammonia leak.

In an email sent to its members by the Airdrie Minor Hockey Association, the ammonia alarm that went off was a false alarm. 

ORIGINAL STORY: 

Airdrie RCMP are on scene at Genesis Place in Airdrie for a possible ammonia leak.

According to Airdrie RCMP Constable Dan Martin, this morning at 7:05 am an ammonia leak alarm sounded in the Twin Arenas area of Genesis Place. The arenas were evacuated immediately by City of Airdrie staff. The Airdrie Fire Department, Municipal Enforcement, and RCMP are now on-site investigating. No one was injured.

Currently, only the Twin Arenas section of Genesis Place is closed and other areas are still operating. No hockey practices, games or ice skating will take place until further notice.
