Sedgewick to put stimulus funding towards Arena roof project Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Sedgewick Council voted to apply for the Province’s Stimulus funding for arena roof repairs. “We submitted for the arena roof on the premise that if we aren’t able to complete the fix, we lose local jobs as well as the jobs we create
through concerts,” says Sedgewick CAO Jim Fedyk. That includes Albertabased artists, promoter, hotels, catering, and fundraising opportunities for local groups, he adds. Fedyk says the Arena roof project is broken into two parts. The first would be to
remove the roof, fix any purlins that weren’t done this January, and then replace the roof. The second part would be the addition of a new ventilation system required under Alberta building codes. “We expect job one to be about $850,000 and job two to be around $450,000. Council ap-

Hi everyone, how was your week? I thought we were going to have a few more dry days, but we got just enough rain so that we can't combine. Lots of farmers are done and trying to get some field work done, to no avail. Now it’s time to dig the potatoes, the carrots, and more. There’s not too many nice fall days left to get little jobs done. Sounds like a change in the weather is coming soon. Birthday wishes to: Wyatt Knight, Oct. 5; Joe Martz, Kyle Meyer, Oct. 6; Cal Brown, Oct. 7; Brayden Doege, Riley
Hodi, Oct. 8; Mark Kroetsch, Patti Schulte, Oct. 9; Brett Wolbeck, Samantha Volk, Oct. 10; Rudy Hodi, Oct. 11. Anniversary greetings to: Brett and Denis Bendfeld, Oct. 7; Raymond and Tammy Zimmer, Vanya and Shannon Wasilenkoff, Oct. 8; Bob and Ruth Burke, Oct. 9; Allyson and Blake Boese,
Oct. 10; and Harry and Kate Klooster, Oct. 11. Have a good day everyone. Thought for the week: O God, open our eyes to the beauty all around us and open our hearts that we may know all the goodness of those who love you. Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone.

To honour Fire Prevention Week 2020 is holding a

proved adding both jobs to the 2021 capital budget with estimated funding of $1.3 million.” Fedyk says he expects the jobs could go to tender as early as March, with the job starting in April or May, and completed by August 2021. He says Council will most likely use a combination of MSI funding and federal gas tax funding. Sedgewick Council temporarily closed the Arena in December 2019 after testing disclosed that some of the roof purlins had lost approximately 25 per cent of
their strenth. Council allocated $250,000 for construction, engineering, equipment rental, and materials to reinforce the arena roof, awarding the job to Premier Fire and Flood Restoration/F. Deniset. Those repairs were completed and the arena was reopened to the public by the end of January 2020. In May, the Recreation Funding Committee recommended that the Flagstaff County Recreation funding of $109,627 be allocated in full towards roof repairs. Council approved the
recommendation. Over the summer, administration completed a number of community grant applications for additional funding for roof repairs. Council received the $1.3 million estimate on July 29. Council directed administration to include the projects in the 2021 capital budget, which are still under development. Fundraising efforts for roof replacement have also been ongoing through the Rec Board, with donations coming from both inside and outside the community.
