The arena is expected to come in over its original $26-million price tag. The hamlet is hoping to be handed the keys by Oct. 21. The building will also be fitted with artificial turf as soon as the ice goes out, making it a true year-round facility. League-and-tournament player Lee Kreelak said the new arena is long overdue in Rankin. He said, despite all the delays, he never doubted for a moment Ran- kin would get the arena because he knows how hard recreation co-ordinator David Clark has worked on the project for the past 10 years. "I had no doubt in my mind he would eventually get it done with all the various parties he was dealing with," said Kreelak. "I actually started working in the new arena as an electrician, but it wasn't for me, so I took a job with Agnico Eagle. "I'm trying to stay in shape and get myself ready for the big event this photo courtesy of David Clark hockey season is going to be in that Artificial turf will be installed every year the ice comes out of the new Rankin Inlet arena, making it a true year-round facility for building. the community.

It's also probably going to help build our young players' futures with more hockey programs being held and everyone having more drive in a new arena.

The principals learned a number of strategies for ensuring safe and healthy schools in order to foster optimal academic, social-emotional and cultural growth. Those who attended the conference returned to their communities, students and coworkers with sharper tools in their schoolbags, such as learning to become a better ally, practical ways to help students self-regulate their behaviour and best prac- tices for a trauma-informed school environment.
