The closure at the Lloydminster Golf and Curling Centre due to asbestos could be short according to the city.
The closure of the building came yesterday after the City of Lloydminster found too much asbestos present.
In a release today, the city confirmed the closure was caused by, “A small disturbance of asbestos-containing material identified on the afternoon of Nov. 20.”
Air quality tests are routine when work is being done that has the potential to disturb asbestos-containing materials.
They have engaged professional services to assess the air quality and complete any required remediation.
The building’s asbestos presence is known and is typical for a structure of its age. The curling centre was built in 1979.
The building is closed to the public and the city says the closure it anticipated to be short-term.
A notice will be issued when public access is restored.
