Questioning arena feasibility

To the Editor,

I want to express my support and admiration for the letter to the editor by Fay Martin. This is looking at the arena from the point of view the council looked at the feasibility of a swimming pool and concluded this is not a possibility. 

I remember asking a council member if Minden really needed an arena. The answer was that the Haliburton arena does not have enough time for both townships’ hockey players. There was no time for discussion, but my question still stood “can Minden afford a hockey arena and does it need one.” The fact that some council members have been re-elected does not mean that there is full support for an arena, by now the council should know there is not.
