CORNWALL, P.E.I. - The former North River rink building will soon be rubble.
Label Construction won the contract to demolish the building. Demolition is to be completed by early January.
The rink has been a fixture in Cornwall for decades.
A new access road to the York Point Road will soon take its place, which the provincial department of transportation is building near the new roundabout at the site of the old rink.
The province purchased the former rink from McQuaid’s Trucking and Warehousing, which has owned it for the past decade. The property is not one of the 24 acquired by the province to complete the Cornwall Bypass project.
Transportation officials said the new access road is all part of the province’s effort to improve safety in the area, especially for the local fire department.
