Aaron and Trevor of Fraser Lake’s WeCare Renovations were recently laying metal roofing panels on the curling arena roof as part of the expansion and renovation of the Tom Forsyth Memorial Arena in Burns Lake.

Before the underlayment and metal roofing went on, the curved roof was sheathed over with a second layer of plywood. They said it was a long way to come to hang around, but at least they had some roofing to keep them busy.

The multi-use facility expansion, a three million dollar project, will see the curling rink and the arena joined into one facility, with the addition of squash courts, a climbing wall, a fitness room, and multi-use rooms.
