Taber Council Approves $6.2M for Ice Rink Rebuild After Zamboni Explosion

Taber council allocated $6.2 million for the main rink rebuild after a propane leak from a Zamboni caused a fireball, with $5 million more needed for full repairs.

  • A hockey-loving town in southern Alberta lost its only two ice rinks in a Zamboni explosion, costing millions to rebuild.
  • The town council agreed to spend about $6 million to rebuild the large ice rink and has requested $8 million from the federal government for upgrades.
  • Taber was named a provincial winner in this year's Kraft Hockeyville competition, receiving $50,000, which is not much compared to the cost of repairs.
