The demolition of the south part of the Port Coquitlam recreation complex is now underway.
Ventana Construction, which is building the $132-million Port Coquitlam community centre (PCCC), is expected to finish tearing down the old arena by early December as well as the building that formerly housed the Terry Fox Library (the granite Terry Fox statue, at Wilson Avenue and Mary Hill Road, was recently moved into storage).
The first phase of PCCC opened in late August and includes the library branch, the Wilson Lounge, a games room and two sheets of ice.
The next part of Phase 1 will see the opening of the pool and fitness centre, on the west side of the facility, early next year.
Meanwhile, the third rink is set to open in summer 2021 while the underground parking will be ready by fall 2021.
