The City of Calgary has awarded the Bird Construction Inc. a fixed-price contract to construct the Seton Recreational Facility in southeast Calgary.
The 30,940-sq. ft. facility will offer leisure, sports, arts, cultural and recreational amenities for individuals and families, as well as competitive sport venues for groups and organizations. Several features include: a 50-metre, 10-lane competition pool, a leisure pool, two multi-purpose ice rinks, three gymnasiums and a 2,325-sq. m. library.
