On Tuesday March 20th there is a public meeting to discuss the fate of the Alliston memorial arena. This building, in the centre of town is so well used; I just don't understand why council would want to tear it down. It's a community centre in the middle of town. Lots of people can walk safely to it and home from it. It is the best place in town to have a Jack and Jill. The arena floor hosts ball hockey for all ages, the roller derby, rodeo and teen dances just to name a few. The hall upstairs is used for dance lessons, aerobics and lots of parties! The meeting is at 7pm on the ice surface. If the Circle Theatre doesn't re-open and there's no bowling alley...what is there to do in town? PLEASE help us save this building! We need this in our community! Meaghan McCague (Awesome, concerned citizen)

I spent the morning walking past the arena and thinking about all the birthday parties and dance lessons hosted within those walls. It is heartbreaking to imagine this space as nothing more than a vacant lot when it serves as the beating heart of our town.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not the only one who refuses to lose this piece of our history. My heart is full knowing so many of you value these walls as much as I do.
