The final numbers are in on the construction of the impressive new Wellington and District Community Centre.

The cost to build the arena was just over $11.8 million, which was $71,000 under budget.

$7.7 million of that came from senior government infrastructure funding and another $1.4 million was raised in the community.

    All that for a Hockey Arena. That cannot even cover it’s own Cost to operate.
    No wonder PEC taxes are so out of line. Tax payers should not be inpressed.
    Big deal $71,000 under budget on an Arena that was over priced to begin with.
