A look back: Red Deerians say final farewell to Kinex Arena
It’s the end of an era in Red Deer recreation.
Fifty-six years after the Kinex Arena originally opened as a barn, the rink tucked in behind the Red Deer Arena and now Servus Arena is marking its final day of residents recreating on its ice surface.
The facility’s end comes as The City recently replaced the ice surface, opening a brand new one at the G.H. Dawe Centre in the north.
