A consultant’s report, presented to Belleville city council and the public yesterday, gives a poor report card to both Memorial and Dick Ellis arenas.
The report on the two city arenas was part of the overall consideration of the Quinte Sports Centre. It said the Memorial arena was “unsafe” for players and fans, and the Dick Ellis substandard. Mayor Neil Ellis says he found comments on the Memorial Arena “the most disturbing” since it is an historical building. Mayor Ellis says the fate of these two arenas will probably be left to the next council.
