The City of Summerside has agreed to take over the Silver Fox building, which contains the city’s only curling club plus a marina and restaurant. As CBC’s Steve Bruce reports, there are some tough decisions ahead about the money-losing facility — but also some opportunities for the city.
The City of Summerside is taking over the Silver Fox Entertainment Complex after city councillors voted unanimously in favour of doing so on Tuesday night.
The volunteer board that has been running the complex approached the city earlier this year asking it to take over the operation — not to mention $525,000 of debt.
“I think it’s the right decision for the city. It’s certainly the right decision for the complex,” said Bill Martin, a board volunteer at the Silver Fox.
“We’ve spent the last 18 months focused entirely on keeping the lights on, as opposed to growing our sports.”
