Three years after a roof collapse at a Calgary arena displaced Canada s largest organization for artists with disabilities, the centre has found a new home.
National accessArts Centre (NaAC), formerly known as the Indefinite Arts Centre, will receive $2.5 million from the city to upgrade the old Scouts Canada building, located at 2140 Brownsea Drive N.W. We re all breathing a huge sigh of relief, said CEO Jung-Suk Ryu. We know where our home is going to be, and that s a huge relief to our community of artists.
CALGARY The City of Calgary has come forward to help an organization that has been struggling to find a permanent home after a freak weather event caused the roof of a southeast arena to collapse. Three years ago to the day, a heavy snowstorm blanketed the city on Feb. 20, 2018. The severe weather resulted in the roof of the Fairview Arena and Community Hall, in the 8000 block of Fairmount Drive S.E., to buckle under the weight of the snow. No one was injured when the roof came down because crews were warned about issues prior to the incident. However, the extensive damage to the building meant that a number of organizations would need to find another place to meet.
