New Business

7.1

Skating Club Update

The skating club had another successful year. A big thank you to the arena staff for another great season. They will be having their annual awards afternoon on April 13th at the Elgin International Club.

7.2

Minor Hockey Update

They would like to thank the staff for a smooth season. They will be getting a tentative schedule together for next season within the next month so that staff can start on a schedule for other groups. They have an end of the year awards set for April 14th at the Elgin International Club.

7.3

Arena Renaming Update

Advertising will be updated and sent out for posting hopefully by the end of the week. The main things are booked, just now working on the details of the event.

8.

Staff Operations Update

The ice is removed and cleaned up in an uneventful manner for the season. The staff was able to successfully remove all but 1 logo intact from the ice. The main center ice logo will hopefully be used for next season. There is a thought to have the new arena logo to be on the ice surface next year. The board wrap is coming off in pieces but it is still cold in there, and they were pretty marked up. 

A concern has come up with the minor hockey banners that there isn't enough room to post them all with the one wall being full of advertising signs. Thoughts were to encourage board wrap and ice logo advertising for next season.

A letter will be going to the seasonal user groups with a timeline on when we would need a tentative schedule in so that other groups can then have availability earlier.

Adjournment

• Moved: Bill Denning
  Seconded: Jim Hathaway

  That the West Elgin Community Centre Board of Management hereby adjourn at 9:19 a.m. to meet again at the call of the Chair.
