Events
Sports – What we lose
Reality / What if?
If we don’t move forward
Spectators / Celebrations
How do we support?
Bridges not walls – What about young people moving to Kenora?
Roads and bridges vs Infrastructure like an event centre
Perspective
Training facility vs walking track
Where do kids go – PLAY
MULTIPURPOSE / ARTS
• Why do we need it? Why here? Why now?
• Benefits and costs for the community?
• Potential users and uses?
• Impact on other venues?
• Multipurpose versus dedicated space?
• What if we don’t build it?
SPORTING EVENTS
• An Event Centre – a big leap forward!
• A recreation program generates money and meets needs.
• Hurdles in bidding for regional and national events.
• Minor hockey tournaments.
• Kenora is the only major centre in NW Ontario with no second ice surface
attached to its recreation centre.
