Itmis a beautiful facility that is just starting to show its full potential. Great addition to the community. Things are changing in FSJ, attitudes are changing. Great place to live and raise a family. The addition of this facility will only contribute. We ahve had two olympic speedskaters come from the ranks of the local Elks club…….who knows what the future will hold. I have spent a lot of time in and around the facility since it opened. It is fantastic. The landscaping is gorgeous. World class facility. Bravo. There are many contributers paying for it, corporate down to private citizen. Well done everyone. What is next! Lets do it – perhaps it is only the start.

No I do not work at the McMahon plant any more. I am on White Lake in the beautiful Shuswap. I am glad not to be paying the high FSJ taxes anymore and get way more for the taxes I pay now!

horsemanure. Great facility, great for citizons. A power engineer from McMahon in Taylor? I know a little about the staff at that facility and their credibility is lacking. My, my so negative. do you play sports or run, speed skate? Probalby not – too busy boiling water at McMahon and spreading gossip.

What on earth does Fort St. John need with “one of only three indoor Olympic sized long [speed skating] tracks in North America”? How many speed skating competitions will the town host each year? How many Olympic hopefuls will be moving to Fort St. John to train? Really?

My my my

The pictures are from a digital camera, a Canon G9 so they are digital. I had to get off the computer to take the pictures and I am a bit of a rebel.

Thanks for the comment.

My my my, how uninformed you are.

The Mayor now? Bruce Lantz, google it if you want to have any credibility.
Your photography skills are nagging as well. If you look close at the pics, they seem to be digitally enhanced.

And I wonder if you have even attended ANY city council meetings to voice your concerns. I highly doubt it.

You just sit on the computer and complain. Wow. Effective.

Oh, and no wonder why the foreman kicked you off site… YOU WERE ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE… a…duh.

I am so tired of all the complaining and finger pointed regarding the enerplex!!! Jum Eglinski was not Mayor when the enerplex was brought in, he was a councillor, who had a vote on it – ONLY!! Once it was voted in, who oever is mayor must finish the previous mayors commitments – the enerplex is one of them. As for money that young athletes bring in..it is LOTS – every hockey tournament brings in 8 or more out of town teams, every figure skating event or speed skating meet bring often hundreds of people to our community – who spend money, here in FSJ. They buy food, spend nights in hotels, go to the movies, swimming, bowling, often buy clothes/amenities if they come from smaller towns and the list goes on and on. Althetics is a very healthy way for children to grow up. Would you rather we spend millions of dollars on soemthing productive or those millions trying to rescue our kids from drugs, gangs and the streets. Athletics is a proven motivation to keep kids on the healthy track of life. Fort St. john is ever growing, the only way we continue to grow is to build and expand and yes that takes money – lots of money, money many of us do not have a lot of. I have been a long time tax payer in FSJ and though do not always agree with the way my money is spent – I truly cannot wait until the day that my family and I can enjoy the enerplex! Hurry up and build it!!

I’m 100% in agreement with your comments about the Enerplex Mark (Often referred to Eglinskiplex) The way cost over-runs are popping up, this will end up costing in excess of 60 million dollars. If anyone thinks a city the size of ours can afford this massive debt, imagine a city the size of Calgary approving a debt of 35 billion dollars for a recreational complex. Because that’s how it roughly pro-rates. We know, of course, they have a little more common sense! Wake up Eglinski and Co. and do your job!
