The site of the former SASCU Memorial Arena will continue to serve as extra parking near the Salmon Arm fairgrounds for the near future. At the July 13 Salmon Arm council meeting, Darin Gerow, director of operations, gave a report updating council on the temporary fencing used to secure the site of the former arena. “The former Memorial Arena site was secured with a temporary construction-style fence at the last direction from council,” he said. The recommendation from city staff is to maintain the site to offer an additional 67 parking spaces until after the Salmon Arm Fall Fair.
