Arena committee establishes donor wall levels; Council to consider zoning, event funds
The Haldimand Memorial Arena Fundraising Ad Hoc Committee approved donation recognition levels ranging from $1,000 to $250,000 and planned a Canada Day outreach booth, while the municipal council prepared to vote on zoning changes and community funding requests.
Arena donor recognition program
On July 2, the committee formalized a tiered recognition system for contributions to the arena fundraising campaign. Donors at the $1,000–$4,999 level will be acknowledged alongside those giving $250,000 or more, with permanent wall displays and photo opportunities outlined in the plan. The committee also approved campaign-branded t-shirts using the municipal logo, a pop-up banner for events, and social media content to raise awareness. It recommended that council endorse a Donor Bill of Rights.
The committee spent part of the meeting reviewing preparations for a Canada Day booth that featured hockey nets, lock boxes, and pledge forms.
Council to weigh zoning, road closure, and grants
