With the new PCU Centre on the way the fate of Portage Centennial Arena has yet to be decided.

June 2009

Ice or no ice, a faction of the Portage Centennial Arena user groups have been working together over the last year to try to get the City of Portage la Prairie to keep the arena open to meet the demands of sports teams for ice surfaces.

“Our group has been discussing on the very important need for a third ice surface in Portage once the PCU Centre, and its two arenas, are up and running. We have been trying to meet with the city for quite awhile to discuss this, but to this point, these efforts have been unsuccessful,” explained Jo-Anne Gillespie, one of the user-group members that have been working on this concern.
