the public meeting in the Bnissels
Legion Hall on Monday night.
Details call for a combination
arena and auditorium complex
contained within a foundation
arch -support super-structure of
laminated wooden beams. The
rink area would consist of an ice
surface 85 by 180 feet surrounded
by seating for 500. Plans call for
an auditorium large enough to be
licenced for 350 people under the
L.C.B.O. This area 'would also
include kitchen and washroom
facilities.
Grants in excess of $210,000
are expected from the Provincial
government and Wintario. An
agricultural grant would be
available and would range in the
area of $15,000. The remainder of
the cost would have to be raised
locally through public donations
and fund-raising projects,
The site of the new building
has not been finalized but One
proposal has it located inside the
track at the fairgrounds. It was'
contended that this site, while
eliminating cost of land, would
make the building qualified to
receive . agricultural grants and
also be an asset during the fall
fair.
