The Municipality of Central Manitoulin is sincerely grateful to the Province of Ontario and the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC) for contributing $157,219 toward essential upgrades to the J.H. Burt Memorial Arena in Mindemoya.
The funding supported the reconstruction and structural repair of the arena’s west wall, the removal and reinstallation of the low-e ceiling, the replacement of a refrigeration plant valve, and required engineering work. These improvements will help ensure the arena remains a safe, welcoming and fully operational space for recreation, community events and social gatherings.
Although it was not included as part of the provincial NOHFC announcement, the Municipality would also like to extend a sincere thank you to the Mindemoya Arena Repair Committee (MARC) for its generous donation of $23,362 toward the arena improvements. This valuable community contribution, together with the support received from the Province, helped make these essential upgrades possible.
