Selwyn Township says all 13.5 kilometres of refrigeration pipe has now been installed, connected and tied into the system. Pressure testing is also underway, while the coolant pump has been mounted and is ready to go.

The next major step will be pouring the new arena floor, a job that will require 18 concrete trucks.

The project is being supported through the Province of Ontario's Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund and Hydro One's Community Investment Program.

While construction continues on the arena, the Ennismore Auditorium remains available to rent, although visitors may hear construction noise during work hours.
