Arena users meet in Bayfield to talk ice
Clinton News -Record
The next chapter of the Bayfield
Arena story will likely be written by the
public.
On Sunday, Jan. 5, members of the
community and representatives of dif-
ferent ice user groups met at the arena
to talk about why it matters to them,
and why the ice should stay where it is.
Ian Siertsema, Bayfield Arena Com-
munity Partners member and repre-
sentative for BCH Minor Hockey, said
the goal of Sunday's meeting was to get
the information out there, and to seek
input from groups who want the ice to
stay. The decision this summer to make
2013/14 the final season for ice in the
arena produced a groundswell of pub-
lic support for the ice surface.
"It's a matter of getting community
groups together - at least get that dis-
cussion started and get that rolling,"
Siertsema said. "The committee the
municipality has formed is strictly
councilors. All they have to go on is
what's been presented.
We need to have a community voice
that reflects what they have to say."

some figures to the group, outlining where the arena cur-
rently stands on the balance sheet, and what it needs to do to
stay viable. Gozzard also presented a number of options,
complete with cost, to Bluewater Council this fall.
So far the group has not presented any other funding ideas,
though Siertsema said information from Sunday's meeting
will be made available through their website at www.bacp.ca,
and will help lay the groundwork for what needs to be done.
Meanwhile, those who showed up Sunday took the oppor-
tunity to explain why the arena is important.
For many, it's for the kids.
Percy Renner has been a Bayfield resident since 1950. His
father helped build the original Bayfield arena, which was
done with community and Lions Club members. The idea
then was to give the kids a place to skate, he said.
"Where are the kids going to go now?"
There are three ice users in Tyler Brady's family - four when
his daughter goes into figure skating. Brady said losing the
arena ice would be a detriment to the Bayfield community,
