Sunridge Ski Area in Alberta, Canada was the victim of an arson attack over the weekend that caused $30,000 worth of damage.
The fire completely destroyed the resort’s new outdoor deck. The deck was built to provide guests with a safe outdoor space to congregate during the covid pandemic.
The Strathcona County Fire Department has confirmed that the fire was arson.ย A man has been caught on CCTV running away from the area at the time.
Assistant general manager Randi-Lee Hopkins said the act is devastating.
โItโs something that people loved here at Sunridge, so weโre definitely going to rebuild and make the most of this unfortunate situation.โ
– Randi-Lee Hopkins
The resort hopes to have a new deck installed by the time the wedding season starts in August.
An investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is being asked to contact the Strathcona RCMP.
