Sudbury plans for arena site after new event centre opens
The City of Greater Sudbury is making plans for the property where the current community arena sits – and it wants to be open to all options.

During a meeting Tuesday, city council asked staff to create a report on the best use for the existing Sudbury Community Arena and its land. It sits in what is called Downtown Sudbury's South District.
Most councillors want to see the structure remain intact and a private developer use the 74-year-old building, however if that doesn't happen council is prepared to see the building demolished – but only after the new arena is built in 2028.
If that demo happens, the land would be made into temporary parking until it's purchased by a developer for something else.
Mayor Paul Lefebvre calls the vote 'a needed step forward.'
'If there is somebody out there that obviously has a good, strong business plan to reutilize the arena we could explore that,' he said.
'Certainly, that's an opportunity that council will decide and if not, once the new arena is built, we will obviously demolish the old arena and look at other opportunities as well,' Lefebvre added.
'The idea is to certainly look at commercial opportunities, looking at potential hospitality opportunities as well,' Lefebvre said, adding that they've already fielded calls from interested parties seeking details.
The report from staff will plan how to bring developments forward.
There will be parameters with developers expressing an interest in the old arena so that it won't sit vacant and dilapidated like the Old St Joe's hospital site.
'There's been so many events and so many championships and so many memorable things that have occurred in that building that it is heritage site in my opinion,' said councillor Al Sizer, who joked that the arena held history for him since he scored the winning goal for a city championship in 1965.
'What I want to make clear, though, is I'm not looking for the City of Greater Sudbury to own the building, but I'm hoping that we can have an expression of interest – maybe a private developer that would be able to repurpose the building.'
— Greater Sudbury City Councillor Al Sizer
'I'm anxious to see how the development of that South section takes place, and I know that there are a lot of opportunities that may occur,' Sizer added.
'We're just trying to explore all the opportunities, which I think is exciting,' Mayor Lefebvre said.
An engineer's report from two years ago found the cost would be substantial for the city to try to keep the community arena or attempt to renovate it to current standards.

PlasCred Awarded $5 Million Grant from Emissions Reduction Alberta to Advance Neos Facility
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 23, 2025) - PlasCred Circular Innovations Inc. (CSE: PLAS) (FSE: XV2) (the " Company" or " PlasCred"), an Alberta-based clean technology company focused on advanced plastic recycling, is pleased to announce it has been awarded $5 million in non-dilutive funding from the Alberta government through Emissions Reduction Alberta (" ERA") to support the development of its first commercial-scale facility, Neos. PlasCred has already demonstrated proof-of-concept success with patent-pending Primus, its pilot-scale unit, which has been operational since May 2023. Primus has served as a foundational testing platform, validating the conversion of waste plastics into high-value Renewable Green Condensate™, a low sulphur, low carbon circular naphtha used as feedstock for the production of virgin plastic (" Condensate"). " By investing in advanced materials and circular economy solutions, we're helping Alberta's industries stay competitive, create jobs, and reduce emissions. This funding supports technologies that make better use of our resources while cutting costs. It's a win for both the economy and the environment." said Justin Riemer, CEO, Emissions Reduction Alberta With the Alberta government's support through ERA, PlasCred is advancing from pilot validation to commercial deployment, building on the technical and operational insights gained from its Primus facility to begin construction of the Neos facility and ensure a smooth transition to full-scale operations. " The Alberta government and ERA's support marks a critical milestone for PlasCred as we transition to commercial deployment," said Troy Lupul, President & CEO of PlasCred. "With this funding, we can move forward on construction, attract additional project capital, and demonstrate the role Alberta-based innovation can play in scaling circular solutions for hard-to-recycle plastics." Strategic Scalability in Alberta's Industrial Heartland PlasCred's entire scalability strategy is anchored at CN Rail's Scotford Yard in Fort Saskatchewan, inside Alberta's Industrial Heartland Canada's pre-eminent hydrocarbon-processing corridor. The permitted yard offers enclosed industrial buildings, a 200-car siding, existing utilities, and direct Class I rail connectivity. This combination delivers reliable inbound feedstock logistics and seamless outbound product shipment while giving PlasCred access to a highly skilled process-operations workforce and a business-friendly regulatory environment. Neos and the follow-on Maximus complex will be co-located at Scotford, capturing shared infrastructure and operating synergies. The Neos facility will initially process 100 tonnes (metric) of post-consumer plastic waste per day converting it into approximately 500 barrels per day of condensate. Once operational, the Neos facility is expected to divert 36,500 tonnes of plastic waste annually and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 51,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year. The design incorporates PlasCred's proprietary dual catalytic pyrolysis technology. This approach minimizes energy consumption, improves safety, and enables the efficient conversion of mixed and contaminated plastics, including PVC and PET. Unlike incineration or waste-to-energy approaches, PlasCred's process produces a circular petrochemical feedstock that can be reused in the production of new, food-grade plastics. The system has been validated through over two years of continuous operation at the Primus pilot facility in Calgary. The Neos facility is forecasted to generate approximately $19 million in annual revenue and $6.9 million in EBITDA, based on management assumptions regarding feedstock cost, uptime, and offtake pricing. Neos has an estimated capital cost of $25 million, with construction targeted to begin later this year, subject to final project financing and permitting. Based on internal forecasts and current engineering assumptions, the project is expected to deliver an internal rate of return (IRR) of approximately 22.8% and a payback period of 4.3 years. These forward-looking estimates are based on internal models and subject to risks including construction timing, input costs, operations, and market conditions. The projected economics remain strong even without accounting for potential upside from plastic credit monetization or byproduct sales. PlasCred has executed a definitive five-year offtake agreement with a global commodities company (" GCC") for 100 percent of Neos production at a fixed price of $120.00 CAD per barrel, inclusive of freight terms. The agreement also includes a right of first refusal (" ROFR") on future volumes from PlasCred's next phase facility, Maximus. This offtake structure ensures predictable revenue and underpins long term capital planning. Neos will integrate Palantir Foundry, an industrial data platform from Palantir Technologies to capture real-time data on feedstock, facility performance and product quality; generate auditable life-cycle assessments (LCA) that verify every tonne of waste plastic is converted into new plastic and support Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance; track plastic-credit issuance, greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions, and logistics for both inbound feedstock and outbound product; and fuse all inputs into a digital twin that delivers 360-degree operational visibility and AI-driven optimisation across PlasCred's entire business. The proposed Maximus facility is engineered to launch at 400 metric tonnes per day, approximately 2,000 barrels per day, and scale up to 2,000 tonnes per day, or 10,000 barrels per day condensate, through modular expansion. This co-location approach leverages existing enclosed infrastructure, CN integrated rail logistics, and shared site services, offering significant cost and execution advantages while anchoring Alberta as a hub for scalable, low carbon plastic circularity. PlasCred is well positioned for sustainable, long-term growth through a combination of strategic site selection, integrated logistics, and secured revenue from industry partnerships. Its co-located infrastructure at CN's Scotford Yard enables scalable deployment while minimizing execution risk. With support from the Alberta government through ERA, PlasCred is accelerating to commercial operations at Neos. This milestone highlights the strength of Alberta-developed technology and reinforces the province's leadership in advancing circular economy infrastructure. Neos represents a significant step forward in scaling clean, plastics-to-plastics innovation rooted in Alberta's industrial and innovation ecosystem. About PlasCred Circular Innovations Inc. PlasCred is at the forefront of rebalancing the future of plastics. The company is transforming plastic waste by granting it a valuable second life. With a vision of advancing towards a climate-positive future, PlasCred aspires to be among the largest advanced plastic waste recyclers in North America and globally. Their groundbreaking patent-pending technology is set to revolutionize the approach to plastic waste management and advanced recycling. PlasCred also has strategic partnerships with CN Rail, Palantir Technologies Inc., the Government of Alberta, Fibreco Export Inc., and a Global Commodities Company. These collaborations provide PlasCred with world-class logistics, advanced operational intelligence, and stable long-term revenue, supporting its leadership in the global circular plastics economy.

Lawyer says tenants ‘crushed' by court ruling they must leave B.C. mobile home park
A lawyer for tenants of a mobile home park on Songhees First Nation reserve land on Vancouver Island says his clients are 'absolutely crushed' after losing a lawsuit challenging their evictions. A ruling posted Tuesday says the residents of E. George Estates Manufactured Home Park have lived there for decades, and believed they'd have a 'long-term or perpetual interest' in the lands even though they didn't own the properties. The park was established in the 1970s and the Songhees First Nation took control of it in 2019, then moved two years later to end tenancies of the plaintiffs who are not members of the nation. The ruling says the reserve is overcrowded and the First Nation wants to develop the lands for 'much-needed housing for its members,' telling plaintiffs in June 2021 that they'd have to move out in three years. Justice Veronica Jackson's ruling says the court has 'a great deal of sympathy' for the plaintiffs, many of them elderly with health problems, but mobile home park tenants anywhere face the prospect of lease terminations, and three years' notice was 'more than reasonable.' Lawyer Michael Drouillard, representing the 30 plaintiffs, says his clients are 'overwhelmed' at the prospect of having to leave, and have been given until Aug. 15 to vacate under threat of having their utilities turned off. Drouillard said he has filed an appeal of the ruling, which he said the court delayed releasing publicly for a month 'to respect the privacy of the plaintiffs during a period of transition.' He said the decision was 'absolutely crushing' to the plaintiffs. 'Most of them, their finances are now wiped out because they paid a lot of money for these homes that they now have to move and which are actually not really capable of being moved as a practical matter because of the costs and logistics involved,' he said. He said one of the plaintiffs had a stroke and is no longer able to take care of himself, and others lack a support network to help them figure out what to do now that they've lost the case. 'It's very overwhelming for these folks,' he said. The ruling says many of the tenant plaintiffs were under the mistaken impression the mobile home park lands were covered by a 99-year lease, but instead were month-to-month tenants. It says some thought that if they paid their rent and taxes and followed park rules 'they could stay forever.' The judge said the situation facing the tenants has been a source of 'tremendous personal hardship and financial distress.' 'However, the situation is not of the Songhees Nation's making,' Jackson ruled. 'None of the plaintiffs were ever entitled to a long-term interest in their sites.' Drouillard said he has filed an appeal, and worries that some tenants are at 'immediate risk of homelessness' if they're forced to leave by the deadline set out in a letter sent by the Songhees First Nation on July 15. 'The reason why I'm saying they're at heightened risk for homelessness is because this eviction has both required them to leave, but it's also annihilated their life savings,' he said. Lawyer Kaelan Unrau for the Songhees First Nation said his client wasn't immediately available for comment on the court's ruling. The ruling says the park was established in the 1970s and operated by a company owned by a First Nation member who later died, before the First Nation took it over.

IsoEnergy and Purepoint Extend High-Grade Mineralization at the Dorado JV with a 70 Metre Step-Out Peaking at 110,800 CPS
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 23, 2025) - IsoEnergy Ltd. (NYSE American: ISOU) (TSX: ISO) ("IsoEnergy") and Purepoint Uranium Group Inc. (TSXV: PTU) (OTCQB: PTUUF) ("Purepoint") are pleased to report continued strong results from drilling at their 50/50 Dorado joint venture project (" Dorado" or the " Project"), located in Saskatchewan's world-class Athabasca Basin (Figure 1). The most recent drill hole, PG25-07A, stepped out approximately 70 metres northeast of the "Nova Discovery" intercepts at the Q48 target area and returned stronger mineralization, with an average of 11,100 counts per second (CPS) measured on a Mount Sopris 2PGA-1000 downhole radiometric probe across a much wider interval of 14.0 metres, including a peak reading of 110,800 CPS. The recent Nova Discovery results further define the mineralized trend at the Q48 target as a steeply dipping, uranium-bearing structure hosted within the basement rocks, underscoring the potential scale and strength of the system emerging at Dorado. All assays from the current program, including holes PG25-04 and PG25-05, are pending on a rush basis and will be disclosed once available. Highlights PG25-07A intersected a continuation of the Nova Discovery uranium basement hosted mineralization approximately 70 metres northeast of PG25-05 and 60 metres below the unconformity, averaging 11,100 CPS over 14.0 metres with a peak of 110,100 CPS. The Nova Discovery mineralization at Q48 remains open to the northeast, the direction of increasing radioactivity, but wet marsh ground conditions currently prevent further drilling in that direction. Follow-up drilling is expected to resume this winter, when frozen ground allows for more efficient land-based access. The drill rig has now been mobilized to the Turaco target, located approximately 8 km northeast of the Q48 target within the Dorado project. Up to four holes are planned at Turaco as part of the 5,400-metre drill program approved by the joint venture partners for 2025. "The recent Nova Discovery results underscore just how much potential remains at Dorado," said Chris Frostad, President and CEO of Purepoint Uranium. "PG25-07A has successfully extended the Nova Discovery zone by 70 metres and delivered our strongest intercept to date, both in intensity and thickness based on radioactivity. The systematic way we've approached Q48 is paying off, and we expect the next phase of drilling will push this discovery even further." "The results from PG25-07A mark a significant leap forward for our new Nova discovery," added Philip Williams, CEO and Director of IsoEnergy. "This step-out hole shows that the mineralized structure continues northeast and that the grades and thickness are improving as we move along the trend. While we have had to pause advancement in this direction due to ground conditions, we are eager to return this winter to continue following what we believe is shaping up to be an exciting discovery." DDHs PG25-06 and PG25-07A Drill hole PG25-06 targeted the brittle fault associated with mineralization (Figure 1) at the unconformity approximately 20 metres northeast of initial drilling (Figure 2). The drill hole was collared with a dip of -64 degrees and encountered Athabasca sandstone to a depth of 316 metres. Granitic gneiss displaying paleoweathering alteration was drilled to 341 metres then generally unaltered granite, pegmatites and pelitic gneiss was drilled to the completion depth of 482 metres. Projection of the Nova Discovery zone mineralization suggests the radioactive sandstone interval of 1,040 cps over 2.3 metres in the Mount Sopris 2PGA-1000 downhole gamma probe (Table 1), which occurs within core lost between 312.4 to 314.0m, is related to the primary mineralized structure. Hole PG25-07A was collared from the PG25-04 drill pad and initial deviation resulted in a large 70 metre step out to the northeast of the PG25-05 mineralized intercept. The unconformity was intersected at a depth of 322 metres and the drill hole intercepted the radioactive structure approximately 40 metres up-dip of PG25-04. From the unconformity, granitic gneiss with pegmatitic intervals was encountered to a depth of 392 metres that was initially clay altered for 5 metres, weakly chlorite altered for 20 metres, unaltered for 36 metres, then became chloritized and silicified for 9 metres. Chloritized pelitic gneiss was drilled from 392 to 441 metres, unaltered graphitic and pyritic pelitic gneiss to 459 metres, followed by unaltered granitic gneiss and pegmatites with minor pelitic gneiss to the completion depth of 548 metres. The PG25-07A Nova zone mineralization starts within granitic gneiss at 382.3 metres and extends into pelitic gneiss to a depth of 396.3 metres returning an average of 11,100 cps over 14.0 metres. A primary mineralized structure of the Nova zone is hosted in sheared, reddish-brown altered granitic gneiss with pitchblende that returned an average of 82,300 cps over 0.6 metres with a peak of 110,800 cps. A second strongly mineralized interval occurs within lost pelitic gneiss core and returned an average of 46,000 cps over 0.4 metres.

Sopris 2PGA probe used to record downhole gamma readings Q48 Target Area The Q48 zone lies within the southern portion of the Project and is characterized by a steeply dipping, north-south trending conductive package identified through geophysical surveys. Historic drilling in the area intersected strongly altered and structurally disrupted rocks at the unconformity and in the basement, including garnetiferous pelitic gneiss, graphitic pelitic gneiss, and semipelite, with local weak radioactivity and zones of intense clay alteration. These results, combined with the geophysical response, highlighted Q48 as a highly prospective but underexplored target. Drilling by IsoEnergy in 2022 confirmed that the conductive trend at Q48 hosts brittle faults, shears, and alteration, characteristics of uranium-bearing hydrothermal systems in the Athabasca Basin. The current program is designed to systematically follow-up and fully test the Q48 conductive corridor. Turaco Target Area The Turaco zone lies within the central portion of the Project and is characterized by a broad area with high conductivity. Although numerous geophysical surveys have been conducted, including airborne electromagnetics (VTEM), ground EM, induced polarization and gravity, previous drilling has failed to properly explain the interpreted EM conductors. A recent review of the geophysical results by Condor Consulting North of Vancouver, BC has selected alternative EM conductor picks that better explain the conductive responses and used Maxwell Modeling to accurately locate the position of discreet conductors. Drilling will commence at one of the high priority target areas identified by Condor. About the Dorado JV Project Dorado (Figure 3) is the flagship project of the IsoEnergy-Purepoint 50/50 joint venture, a partnership encompassing more than 98,000 hectares of prime uranium exploration ground. The Project includes the former Turnor Lake, Geiger, Edge, and Full Moon properties, all underlain by graphite-bearing lithologies and fault structures favorable for uranium deposition. Recent drilling by IsoEnergy east of the Hurricane Deposit has intersected strongly elevated radioactivity in multiple holes. The anomalous radioactivity confirms the continuity of fertile graphitic rock package and further highlights the opportunity for additional high-grade discoveries across the region. The shallow unconformity depths across the Dorado property-typically between 30 and 300 metres-allow for highly efficient drilling and rapid follow-up on results.
