Rosemary Brown Recreation Centre

Rosemary Brown was Canada’s first Black female member of a provincial legislature and the first woman to run for leadership of a federal political party. In her honor, this Centre is ready to meet the community’s growing demand for ice sports – and has it all. The interior boasts two NHL-regulation ice surfaces with 200 spectator seats each, a large lobby and outdoor patio, a kid’s play zone, viewing galleries and more. A unique structural design for this tight-footprint facility floods the arena with north-facing light without impacting ice quality. SunGuard™ SN 68 on clear glass balances thermal performance and shapes views inside and out. An eye-catching, exposed mass timber roof tops the mixed steel-and-concrete base. Several sustainable design strategies come together to meet the city’s customized goals, which includes the capture and reuse of excess heat from the refrigeration system.
