The Plainsmen arena will be closed from Wednesday, October 12 to Friday, October 14 for repairs.

The arena sustained damages after a water leak started from the second floor on Monday, October 3.

Only the ice surface will remain open on Tuesday, until the whole building closes the next day.

The City of Airdrie acknowledges the fact that the Plainsmen is an older building and contains some asbestos but they are following all health and safety requirements during the repairs.

The ice surface will reopen on Saturday, October 15, at 6:30 a.m. but the entire second floor and part of the main floor will remain closed for approximately two months.

The city would also like to remind you to watch for signs and avoid the restoration area.
