Construction Update
Conceptual designs and a preliminary environmental assessment have been completed. The project includes construction of a new arena with temporary seating for the Games. Construction is expected to start in spring 2007 with a completion date of Fall 2008.

After the 2010 Games, the curling venue will become a multi-purpose community recreation centre that will include an ice hockey rink, gymnasium, library and six to eight sheets of curling ice.
