By Rosalind Russell – The Ontario government is investing $157,219 through the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation to help the Municipality of Central Manitoulin make critical structural repairs to the J.H. Burt Memorial Arena in Mindemoya.
Access to quality sport and recreation spaces helps bring people together and strengthens communities across the North,” said George Pirie, Minister of Northern Economic Development and Growth.
The Municipality of Central Manitoulin will use the NOHFC funding to repair the west wall of the arena, which buckled under heavy snow and rain, forcing the facility to close.
In addition to the rehabilitation of the wall, the project includes removal and reinstallation of the ceiling and replacement of a valve in the refrigeration plant.
