A timeline's been set for the replacement of the condenser at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre. During Tuesday night's regular meeting, Community Services and Tourism Director Alex Patterson informed Council that the replacement unit is expected at the start of March, with installation scheduled for March 2nd through 5th - just ahead of the Wawa Ice Fishing Derby. Patterson did note concerns about that timing, but emphasized the need to replace the unit and assurances given to him that the installation should be done within that time period. He did warn - however - that the installation does mean that the arena and curling ice will be unavailable from March 2nd through 5th, though the rest of the community centre should be unaffected - and Patterson noted hopes for colder weather over that period, as it should help avoid issues with the arena ice. Council approved the roughly $69,500 purchase earlier this month, as the unit needed to be replaced as soon as possible, after a leak was detected in the condenser, which uses ammonia to cool the ice. While waiting for the replacement, staff are continuing to monitor the current unit, patching it as needed.
