Open House on future of Listowel Memorial Arena

North Perth residents will have a chance to submit ideas for the future of the old Listowel Memorial Arena at an open house Tuesday.

The North Perth Recreation Advisory Committee will be hosting the event, which is designed to deliver information on options for the site, as well as gather suggestions from the public.

Options put forth in a staff report last year included maintaining the facility for community programs and events, demolishing the building, or selling the facility and property.

The facility has gone largely unused since it was decommissioned in December of 2017.

The public open house takes place Tuesday, June 11 at the Memorial Arena, on Maitland Avenue North from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
