The Cariboo Regional District has purchased three new electric ice surfacing machines for arenas in 100 Mile House, Quesnel, and Williams Lake. The CRD works with the Cities of Williams Lake, Quesnel, and District of 100 Mile House to govern those recreation facilities making sure they have the proper equipment in place. “The purchase was actually coordinated by the staff at the South Cariboo Rec Centre in 100 Mile House that had some knowledge of the machines from other facilities that they were connected to. We did our homework and research and I think we got the right machines for these facilities,” Campbell said, “It fits really nice with having electric machines combined with the solar panels. The time for these electric machines has definitely arrived.”
