A fire that ripped through the Whitecourt Wolverines Centre of Excellence in February may have been deliberately set. The fire caused significant structure damage. The $2 million state-of-the-art facility only opened in December 2013, with 8,500 square feet for workout areas, a running track, auditorium and offices.
RCMP say further investigation shows evidence that the fire was suspicious. They add that anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity at around 10:30 pm on February 16th is asked to contact RCMP.
The investigation is ongoing.
