Arena Review
- Created: Wednesday, 20 July 2022 19:17
We're reviewing the operation and physical infrastructure of the Sandy Wickens Memorial Arena. The Arena is a hub of our community, and most residents have fond memories of sports and events there.
On Thursday, July 28th, from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, we're hosting an open house with the consultant leading the review. During this meeting, they will present an overview of the results of a community survey underway now, as well as gather thoughts and opinions on what the community likes about the Arena, as well as suggestions around how it can be improved.
Your opinion matters, and we hope you will take the time to complete the survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BarringtonArenaSurvey and if you can, come to the open house.
If you are planning to attend the open house, please email or call 902-637-2015 to let us know you are coming. The purpose is to allow us to better plan for the open house.
