Shame on council!

Sir: I can’t believe council’s plans for canteens at our arenas.  It is apparent no one on council has gone to a Jr. Maroon game with 800 to 1000 fans in attendance at Memorial arena.  If they had, and got in line at the canteen, they would have missed half of a period of the game waiting for their orders. This is in no way the fault of the canteen workers.  Cramped work areas and out-dated equipment is the reason for the long waits.

There is room at the arena’s front on Tweedsmuir for an addition of a canteen that would be a great improvement to our present setup.  Canteen profit, at least at Memorial, are small because people are tired of missing some of the game because of inadequate facilities.  Given a chance, employee numbers could go up instead of being cut.  A 1948 canteen in 2015 does not do Chatham proud.  This is our main arena, probably for years to come.  Let’s at least, do a few things that could make it a pleasant experience to attend a Jr. Maroon’s and other teams games.
