The original planned deadline for construction of the arena was December, 1977, said Knight, "but time is slipping by and it takes more time to evaluate the plans and proposals than we expected." The old Hensall arena will remain standing until after mid- July, according to Knight. There will be a final fund-raising dance at the old arena July 16, he said.
