by The province says it’s partnering with the federal government and the Regional Municipality to upgrade Centre 200 in Sydney.
It says the $600,000 upgrade to the rink boards will improve safety for local athletes, amateur skaters and the Cape Breton Eagles.
Each level of government is contributing $200,000 toward the rink board replacement.
The province says the current rink boards are still in good condition and Centre 200 is donating them to the Sydney Mines and District Community Centre.
The province is spending another $50,000 to cover the cost of the installation.
