Fernie Mayor wants arena reopened after deadly ammonia leak

FERNIE — The mayor of Fernie says an immediate priority for her East Kootenay city is to reopen the local arena months after three men were killed there.
Fernie Memorial Arena has been closed since Oct. 17, when two city workers and a contractor from Calgary were killed by ammonia gas as they worked on the ice rink’s refrigeration unit.
Mayor Mary Giuliano says the city would like the arena to return to normal operations as soon as possible.
