After many months of construction, the shiny new Nelson District Community Complex(NDCC) was officially opened on June 18th, 2005.
The new Community Complex added to the city's recreational facilities with a new hockey arena, swimming pool, fitness and training rooms, concession, meeting rooms and large gymnasium. It also houses overflow from the Sports Museum which is housed in the old civic centre.
This being Canada, the centerpiece of the NDCC is the hockey arena, which is home to the Junior B Nelson Leafs. They are members of the Neil Murdoch Division of the Kootenay Conference of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. This, naturally, is the larger (approximately 1,000 seat) arena of two in the NDCC, with a concession, multiple dressing rooms, officials' dressing rooms and offices. In order to keep the profile of the building relatively low, the arena is sunk below ground, appearing from the outside to be a single story structure.
