Trent Hills Mayor Bob Crate explains rising cost and future fiscal impact of new arena

Trent Hills Mayor Bob Crate gets pretty excited when he talks about the new $22 million arena under construction in Campbellford. It is with good reason. The new facility boasts an NHL-size ice pad, a lap pool, space for fitness programs, and daycare. It was a long road to get to this point. Originally a $16 million project, the price tag has jumped. The mayor will explain why. He will also touch on the associated expenses taxpayers will bear in the future.
