Over $30,000 was spent in strength- ening the main arena roof, which Knight said was now 10 percent below design standards. However, other portions of the building fall much shorter, than that in meeting the standards. It is expected that a new roof will have to be erected over the equipment room at the south end as well some of the predictions of work that will still be required to bring the arena tip to ministry of labor standards. Total cost of a renovation project is expected to be around $200,000. This would include completing the work to bring the entire structure up to standard as well as some updating of facilities. Knight, who "earned" the chairmanship because he had been involved in the arena matter for some years, explained that Although they still don't have an engineering report and estimates on the renovations required for the Hensall arena, a group of interested citizens decided Monday night to embark on an immediate fundraising campaign in the community to get the project underway. The target for the canvass will be $50,000 to $80,000. About 25 citizens attended the meeting in the arena and heard Harold Knight review the work that has already been undertaken INTERESTED FEW — Only 25 Hensall residents showed up Monday nightto hear details of the renovations required at the arena to bring it up to ministry of labor standards. Many of those in attendance volunteered to assist in a fund raising campaign to get the $50,000 to $80,000 needed locally to pay for the job,which is estimated by village officials at approximately $200,000. T-A photo. he would continue as chariman if Baker and clerk Bob Heil would assist him. Resident Bill Smith said it would be difficult to go out and canvass until it was known exactly how much money was required, He indicated he was also in favor of undertaking only the arena portion of the project initially to get hockey underway. However, Ron Wareing said some people may consider the hall the most important part of the work, The latter said he was also pessimistic that $80,000 could be raised locally. He said this would be a heavy burden on only 300 households. Reeve Baker said the com- munity couldn't afford to wait until all the figures were known. "We have to go out and start the fund raising , " he said, adding that delays in getting the project underway could result in the arena not being opened for the entire winter season. It was finally decided to hold another meeting on September 13(if the engineer's report is ready by that time) so the estimates of the work would be available. Knight suggested that at that meeting, fund raising ideas could be presented, canvass teams of the building, because the present one ranges from 40 to 05 percent below standard. The floor of the second storey auditorium (which Oso serves as the roof of the main entrance and dressing room area) ranges from .54 to 70 percent below standard and the seating area in the arena is 73 percent below standard. Knight indicated the building can remain open until October 15 under its present con , dition, although he also sugges- ted the ministry could step in and close it at any time. However, he told the audience that council and parks board members were optimistic that the building could remain open for the entire winter season if the ministry were satisfied that a renovation project was underway and that the building would be monitored throughout the season. The fund raising requirements were outlined as follows for a $200,000 project: $50,000 outright grant from the ministry of recreation and culture, $50,000 from Wintario, $20,000 from the parks board building fund, 00,000 from public donations, . Knight explained that if the community raised only 50,000 in a canvass, council would have to debenture $30,000. He noted as well that Hensall is presently debenture free. "Is $80,000 a realistic figure to raise in Hensall?" he asked. Andy Bilcke replied that he thought that amount could be raised and Knight said he would certainly be disappointed if at least the $50,000 couldn't be picked up in a canvass. • Later in the meeting, Knight warned that the community could "get into trouble" with the arena refrigeration equipment, which he explained was as old as the building. "Is it worth keeping the arena open?" he asked, adding that he certainly wasn't in favor of seeing it closed. "If we close this one, we'll never have another one," Bileke replied. The first need outlined was the naming of a chairman to spearhead the drive for funds. Reeve John Baker told the audience they would have to consider people other than those on council, or the parks hoard, because those people were already busy on community projects. "I think they're willing to help, but there should be others to take the load on this particular project," Baker added. Several people present in- dicated they would be willing to serve as canvassers and at the end of the meeting, Knight said About people you know .
