Volunteers are being sought by Northern College to participate in what its manager of recreation and sports facilities calls a “Where were you when…?” event.
Angelo Lia says it’s to help install the roof of the sports dome and fieldhouse on the Timmins campus.
“It is going to be kind of a cool event,” he remarks. “And I think people are going to be amazed once the shell actually goes up how big and massive this structure is going to be.”
It will be the second largest permanent dome structure in Canada.
“Raise the Roof” volunteers are needed for November 25th, 26th and 27th and several later dates.

“The college is looking at this as a community project where people can try to get behind it and be a part of it, kind of build some momentum towards when the dome actually opens,” Lia adds.
There’s no firm date yet, but it’s anticipated the dome will open in the spring.
