The City of Grande Prairie has completed energy efficiency upgrades at the Grande Prairie Curling Centre.

The City has installed six new energy-efficient furnaces in October of last year, after identifying several years earlier that the previous furnaces were at the end of their life.

“Investing in our community facilities is about more than upgrading equipment. It is about making sure the places people gather and connect continue to serve Grande Prairie well into the future,” said City of Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton. “By taking a proactive approach to energy efficiency, we are finding practical ways to manage costs responsibly and keep well-used spaces like the Curling Centre in great shape for our community.”

The Community Energy Conservation program provided over $23,000 to cover 50 per cent of the total project and $7,075 to cover 50 per cent of the audit cost.
