MPP Huron-Middlesex
At one point the Ministry of
Culture and Recreation an-
nounced that 25 percent of the
cost of arena renovation would be
taken care of, and Wintario would
pick up one-third of the
remaining costs,
Communities have launched
fund-raising drives, and
everything possible is being done
to ensure that arenas remain in
operation. Some municipalities
feel that without more assistance
from the provincial government,
it will be virtually impossible to
cope with the financial, problems
of bringing arenas up to stan-
dard,
In some areas, the new
government regulations - for
snow load especially - are
considered to be unrealistic in
view of weather conditions and
recorded snow levels for the
region.
In our rural communities
especially, the arena is the
central location for much of the
social life of the area, Hopefully,
the Provincial Government
realise the importance of doing
everything possible to assist
communities to keep their arenas
in operation.

In the early part of June the
Provincial. Government an-
nounced that approximately 180
Ontario communities would be
ordered to shut down their arenas
permanently because these
facilities were too dangerous to
use. An additional 120 com-
munities were expected to be
prohibited from opening their
arenas in the fall unless struc-
. tural repairs were made,
It was anticipated at that time
that many of these latter arenas ry
would have seen their last hockey
game also, because major
repairs often cost as much as a
new building.
Reports indicated that
probably Northern Ontario would
be the hardest hit area, and that
of the 360 arenas still to be in-
spected, some 300 would be or-
dered to close or make repairs.
The director of occupational
safety at the Ministry of Labour
said that an arena of the type
commonly built in Ontario more
than 10 years ago could collapse
in as little as 20 seconds - that
the most ti me anyone could expect •to have to escape from a
collapsing arena of this type
would be three minutes,
Government officials maintained
that warnings about unsafe
arenas had been issued since
1969-70, but that these had been
virtually ignored by'
municipalities.
Labour Minister Bette
Stephenson made it quite clear to
the Legislature that the
provincial government will not
back down from directives or-
dering arenas closed for safety
reasons, and denied charges that
the government had been heavy-
handed in dealing with
this matter, since the
municipalities had been warned
on a number of occasions that
arenas were unsafe because of
structural deficiencies in their
roofs.
She paid that in most cases
arenas would be permitted to
remain open until October 15 for
summer activities, providing
they were capable of withstan-
ding a certain wind stress. In
addition, she pointed out that the
Province's Industrial Safety Act
was changed in 1975 to give the
government the authority to close
arenas which did not meet safety
regulations.
Virtually all the unsafe arenas
are mere than 10 years old, and
the Majority of them date back to
Alikthe title 1940's, at which time the
11111,Federal Government offered
grants to communities wishing to
build centres as memorials to the
war dead, Many were built to a
design intended for the almost
snowless conditions of South
Carolina, a design originated
before engineers learned about
technology which takes' into
account uniform and non-uniform
snow loads.

Confusion over
arena financing
are subjected to three main
forces - their own "dead"
weight, balanced or unbalanced
snow, and wind stress.
In the months since the
Government's announcement
about the closing down of com-
munity arenas, there has been a
great deal of discussion on the
various methods of financing the
necessary repairs to enable the
arenas to remain in operation.
Communities are faced with
the prospect •of raising hundreds
of thousands of dollars or losing
the use of their arenas. Wintario
funds are being sought by
municipalities, community
centre grants are being applied
for, support is being given by the
general public and various sports
organizations.
Some communities have found
theinselves in the very difficult
positon of attempting to pay off
enormous debts incurred by
improvements and alterations to
arenas, which they will be unable
to continue to use, unless they
raise even more money to carry
out the repairs and changes
which are needed to bring the
arenas into line with the
government standards now being
imposed.
There is considerable confusion
about the Provincial Govern-
ment's intention with respect to
financial assistance for com-
munities wishing to bring their
arenas up to standard. Treasurer
Darcy McKeough ordered a
clampdown on funds which may
be borrowed for rinks and
arenas, whilst Culture and
Recreation Minister Robert
Welch has approved grants of
Wintario funds for these
facilities.
