The action at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre starts at 8 a.m. Ice to be removed for off-season Two representatives from Clinton volunteer groups were successful in lobbying Central Huron Council to remove the ice at the new community complex by April of 2012. Una Roy from the Clinton Public Hospital Gala Committee and Angela Cullen from the Clinton Kinette Club came to the Dec. 5 meeting of Central Huron Council concerned about a fundraising event for the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation that would require use of the entire Central Huron Community Complex building, including the arena floor. Cullen and Roy wanted to ensure that a performance they had planned for the night next spring would be able to proceed. Kevin McLlwain, who was Chief Administrative Officer at the time, said there had been preliminary discussion about spring and summer hockey camps, but that nothing had been finalized. He said April is when the ice at the new complex was scheduled to be removed anyway. Steve Campbell, Central Huron’s facilities manager, said a full evaluation would have to take place to determine who planned on using the arena floor throughout the spring and summer and who was hoping to use the ice. He said if the ice was to be left in the complex over the spring and summer months, a number of activities would suffer, including rentals for parties, such as buck and does, and male and female ball hockey leagues. A motion was then made by Councillor Brian Barnim to remove the complex’s ice in April as per the regular schedule, which was carried.
