The Zancor Centre is the first combined aquatics and ice-sports community facility in Canada to achieve Zero Carbon Building Design Certification by the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC).
This certification is awarded for new constructions which demonstrate climate leadership through innovative carbon reduction strategies and optimal building performance.
Innovative features designed to reduce carbon emissions include all electrical building systems to recover waste heat, daylight optimization for energy efficiency, minimal dependence on gas-fired equipment and geothermal readiness.
Read the full media release here.
Construction of the multi-partner facility was jointly funded by the Township of King, the Government of Ontario, the Government of Canada through the Investing in Canada Plan, as well as Seneca Polytechnic and the development community.
Zancor Homes is the naming rights partner of the multi-use recreation facility, now known as the Zancor Centre. The developer has a long-standing history of supporting community services and events in King through donations and sponsorships and paid $1.5 million for the rights, which will last 15 years.
Ten-year partnerships have also been secured by four different businesses for the naming rights of the ice pads, aquatic centre and athletic centre, as follows:
- JTF Homes Arena: Ice Pad 1 (home rink of the King Rebellion Junior A Team)
- The Country Day School Arena: Ice Pad 2
- Municipal Maintenance Athletic Centre: the artificial turf fieldhouse with running track, and a multi-use community space
- Aqua Tech Solutions Aquatic Centre: the six-lane lap pool and leisure pool
Funding from all naming rights totals $2.7 million, which will go towards future needs and maintenance of the facility.
