The Elkscentre in Prince George has a brand new floor.
The Arena is now boasting a new floor made of recycled tires, thanks to an investment from the City of Prince George and grants from Tire Stewardship BC.
The flooring has been installed throughout the Arena’s walkways, front lobby, skate shop, and dressing, referee, and storage rooms.
The City received a grant, worth $25,554, from Tire Stewardship BC to replace roughly 465 square metres of aging and damaged flooring and installed flooring made out of 4.5 tonnes of rubber from 670 recycled passenger vehicle tires.
The City of Prince George also received a grant from Tire Stewardship BC for recycled materials to improve fall protection and accessibility at Duchess Park earlier this summer. Worn out flooring at the Kin arenas has also been replaced using the Dinoflex products via a grant from Tire Stewardship BC.Â
