Fort Nelson has had to cancel plans to host the 2007 Oil and Gas conference in September.
The Fort Nelson arena collapsed last week. The stability of the two other structures attached to the arena is not yet known.
Mayor Chirs Morey says the decision is disappointing, but there is no other option “We really have no choice without a facility in which to host such an event.”
A team of engineers will meet in Fort Nelson this week to assess the stability of the curling rink and community centre.
The arena collapsed Easter Monday. The building had been sealed off about a week before the collapse after staff noticed the roof was showing signs of stress.

There are temporary buildings available which are often used to extend convention space at larger venues. Those are as large as an ice hockey surface similar to an arena. I think given the remoteness of Fort Nelson, it might be a good idea to provide such a building over a longer period of time.
