Comox Valley Sports Centre Reopens After Ammonia Leak
The proposal includes 12 indoor courts, six outdoor courts and a performing arts complex, with each group funding its own facility.
- On Tuesday, July 28, the Comox Valley Pickleball Association , Comox Valley Tennis Club , Comox Valley Strikers Volleyball, and Performing Arts Comox Valley presented a year-round sports and arts hub proposal to the Comox Valley Regional District Recreation Commission.
- The associations envision a hub at 900, 910 and 920 Pritchard Road, accommodating three sports buildings, a performing arts complex, and a multi-purpose building with shared amenities, contingent on the Town of Comox purchasing the properties.
- Based on quotes from 13 builders, the CVPA budgeted a total project cost of $4 to 4.5 million and asked the CVRD to finance a comprehensive feasibility study for the site.
- Separately, the Comox Valley Sports Centre temporarily closed Wednesday, July 29, after a low-level ammonia alarm; staff evacuated patrons and the facility reopened at 3 p.m. after contractor monitoring.
- Director Daniel Arbour expressed support for the feasibility study, noting it would clarify the land's suitability and alignment with other facilities, with the commission set to discuss the request further at its next meeting.
