Report: Abbotsford Canucks To Receive Calder Cup Rings On Thursday
The Abbotsford Canucks are expected to receive their Calder Cup championship rings soon.
thehockeynews.comHere are the latest publicly reported items about ARC Abbotsford (Abbotsford Recreation Centre) based on recent sources:
-
Construction on ARC’s HeRO project (Heat Recovery and Optimization) was underway as of early 2025, with a goal to retrofit the HVAC system to recover and reuse heat from the pool and arena, aiming for significant energy savings and emissions reductions. This was announced by Universal Supply BC and the City of Abbotsford, and coverage noted a multi-million-dollar investment and timeline through 2025 [source: HPAC Magazine post about ARC HeRO; city press release].

-
The City of Abbotsford confirmed the HeRO project in a January 2025 news release, outlining that construction would begin that week and was expected to complete by the end of 2025, with ARC remaining open during construction and potential temporary disruptions to spaces or programs. The release also highlighted accessibility improvements and funding support from federal and provincial partners. [cite ][cite ]
-
Federal funding support for the HeRO upgrades was publicly announced in January 2025, totaling more than $4.45 million under the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program, with City funds also allocated as part of the overall upgrades. This underscores government backing for the energy-efficiency improvements at ARC. [cite ]

In related ARC news, there have been ongoing discussions and coverage around Abbotsford recreation facilities and related infrastructure investments, including updates about Canucks-related news and other local developments, but these are separate topics not directly about ARC’s HeRO project. For example, hockey-related coverage mentions Abbotsford Canucks happenings, which may be of interest for local context but are not ARC project updates. [cite ][cite ]
