Mr. Louie Wuhr donated a large parcel of land for an arena in Minto, N. B. He was also instrumental in the building and plant operations of the Minto Centennial Arena which opened in 1967. In addition, he sharpened skates for over 40 years, night and day, most often free, especially for the less fortunate. Louie simply wanted a place for the community, notably children, to enjoy winter and summer sport, and "to keep them off the streets". Louie expected no praise for his generosity, he got his reward from seeing happy kids and sharpening their blades. Louie passed away in 2016, and the citizens of Minto and surrounding areas, who have benefited by his kindness, feel it is time to honour Mr. Wuhr and wish to request that the village consider a name change of said arena to include his name. If you agree, please sign this petition to support this effort.

Thank you,
