Take bus for free during Scotties tournament Work well underway at Sandman Centre

Construction crews will oversee the installation of scoreboards and carpeting and a scaffolding team will build the area for the TSN booth and make the arena broadcastready.

“I’m hoping we don’t have too many challenges,” Fisher said, pointing to the expertise of the ice crew.

“The ice crews have done this a number of times and they do it a number of times per year. They’ve got it down to a pretty good science.”

Other considerations for Fisher include accessibility and washroom access, which was something that needed to be addressed for the Kamloops Curling Club, he said.

“There’s been a few challenges, but I think we’re in a good spot and everything seems to be going well at this point in time,” Fisher said.

Free public transit will be offered to Scotties Tournament of Hearts same-day ticket holders, accredited staff and volunteers registered for the tournament, according to BC Transit and the City of Kamloops. The tournament will run from Feb. 17 to Feb. 26 at Sandman Centre.

Eventgoers must show a copy of their ticket or an accreditation badge to the driver when boarding the bus.
