Where sports and recreation take place year round

Kal Tire Place is an NHL and international sized arena with seating for 3,003 and standing room for approximately 500.

The facility provides skating, ringette and hockey opportunities and serves as the home of the Vernon Vipers and visiting teams of the BCHL. When the ice comes out, the facility houses Junior and Senior Lacrosse games and tournaments.

The upper concourse is used year round by walking enthusiasts and can be used to house additional exhibits during large trade shows and conventions.

Kal Tire Place can host meetings in the Boardroom, and the Grand Room is perfectly suited for larger meetings, banquets and social events. As well, the ice surface can be transformed to accommodate an array of events such as concerts, dances and even rodeos.
