Richmond Hill Arena Association
Category: Builder
Year of Induction: 2010 |
The Richmond Hill Arena Association was incorporated in 1954 as a non-profit organization. Founded by a group of Richmond Hill citizens, its initial purpose was to provide artificial ice in a natural ice arena, which had been built in 1923. In the years following, the Arena Assocation advocated for additional arena facilities to accomodate the growing community. The Association's mandate was to manage and operate Town-owned arena facilities on behalf of the municipality and to provide ice time equitably to local organized groups at competitive rates.
For 56 years, the Arena Association members generously volunteered their time and through their work, made a significant contribution to the community.
