An application has been submitted in hopes of accessing federal funds for capital upgrades to the Shelburne Arena.
The Shelburne County Arena Association, the municipality and the town have submitted an application to ACOA.
The three applicants say if successful, new dasher boards and glass would be installed in the spring of 2017.
Other facility upgrades would also be done, but there were no specifics.
Both the town and municipality have already committed funding for the arena.
Warden Roger Taylor says the arena is an important community recreation facility.
Shelburne Mayor Karen Mattatall says the town welcomes the opportunity to work with the municipality to ensure infrastructure projects that are vital to the area can happen.
