(Photos submitted) Arena ice removal study suggested Continued from page 1 what this request is" Vodden said his request was for all three arenas in the municipality and each arena would have a separate figure for how much could be saved if funding an ice surface were not part of the equation. "We have to consider the revenue factor as well," he said. "I'm not making any suggestion on closing one, two or three arenas. I'm asking about what we could save by not providing ice in the arena." Director of Recreation and Facilities Pat Newson said the biggest challenge with the request, should it be approved by a motion at the next council meeting, is that the township doesn't operate the Belgrave Community Centre. "It's leased to another board," she said. "We have no control over their operations. It would be a separate request to their board to provide their figures. We can only provide figures for Wingham and Blyth" Chief Administrative Officer Sharon Chambers suggested council not debate the idea because of the amount of research necessary. She said if council gives direction on Vodden's suggestion at the next meeting, staff would then begin that research.
