OLDS — Plans call for big money to be spent soon on the Aquatic Centre roof. 

A report for budget discussion on Dec. 6 listed $400,000 for replacement of that facility’s roof.  

The report indicated funding for that work would come from a provincial Municipal Sustainability initiative (MSI) grant. 

However, as she introduced the topic, Town of Olds finance director Sheena Linderman said 80 per cent of the cost of the project would be covered by the grant. 

“We’d have to show a certain percentage of energy savings. So it would include more than just the roof replacement,” Linderman said. 

“But grant or no grant, the roof does need to be replaced, so that is why it’s in here on its own as well."
