YCE Multiplex
A joint initiative between the Town of Edson and Yellowhead County is one step closer to becoming a regional staple, with schematic designs for the YCE Multiplex officially approved.
With the innovative design given the thumbs-up, a four-phase construction plan is in the books and construction is now underway!
Notably, this initial phase of construction will also focus on accommodating ongoing use of the existing Edson and District Leisure Centre throughout construction – a unique step advocated by both municipalities to ensure there’s no gap in access to recreational opportunities for residents.
Phase 1 started April 7, 2025, with on-site preparation and foundational work. This includes clearing the area, grading the land, and preparing the foundation.
Phase 2 of the project will include the construction of a new ice arena and aquatics area, including lane and leisure swimming, scheduled for completion in the winter of 2026.
From there, Phase 3 will incorporate the construction of a new lobby, and a gymnasium that includes an elevated walking track; and Phase 4 will see project completion through renovations to the current Centennial Arena and the conversion of the Memorial Arena to a new curling facility, as well as final site servicing.
The full project is expected to be completed by late 2027.
