Privatization of UPEI Rink

By Bruce Henry

On June 2, 1997, The Guardian printed UPEI's call for proposals as they began the search for individuals or organi- zations interested in taking control of the operation of the UPEI Rink. The University had two primary requirements:

1) The rink is to be operated as a traditional ice rink operation serving the ice needs of the community and the University.

2) The new operator will assume the complete manage- mentand financial responsibilities of the facility forthe duration of the lease agreement. UPEI will assume no responsibility for expenses incurred to operate the rink!

The UPEI rink revenue came from sources such as the overnment, the general public and external groups like minor key. On average the university did not incur any poe above the annually budgeted amount forrink ion. Unfor- tunately necessary renovations were not incl inthe budget. To make up the operating costs, the Sports Centre incorporated a three year plan. This three year plan only survived for one year before the university decided that finan- cially the rink was unfeasible.

“There have been some really difficult decisions, includ- ing realizing that we can no longer afford to operate the rink,” said Elizabeth Epperly in a press release. President Epperly said the rink gong a major overhaul costing $1 million.

Sports PEI, a non profit organization, agreed to the University’s operating proposal, and now manage the rink for one year. One reason for Sport PEI’s decision is to have space available for amateur sports.
