An early supporter of the project, West Fraser’s steadfast commitment of $1 million to the arena project is a $500,000 contribution and an additional $500,000 of matching monies to encourage community donations. West Fraser’s donation means every dollar of local community fundraising contributions, including the seat sale program and the mural, will bring the project closer to its funding goals.
A celebration to recognize the naming of West Fraser Centre and community kick-off of the project is being planned for October 24, 2014.
West Fraser Centre will be an energy efficient “green” structure that will house a 1,600-seat arena with a regulation size ice surface and dry floor space for arena programs and events to be run year round. The Centre will also feature an indoor walking track and rooms for community meetings and gatherings. Be part of it - West Fraser will match your contributions! Donation options start at just $25, visit ncarenaproject.com for details and donation forms.
