Acton Councillor Norm Elliott stressed that the arena is not unsafe, pointing to an August structural report in- dicating it was safe for lic use for the 1997-98 ice season, as long a snow loads were monitored. Elliott also said he wanted to end once and for all, rumours that the building would ever be used as an arena again.

He will also ask if the Society would accept the building outright without any Town money and if it would consider the $110,000 in the budget as a loan. The Town's manager of facilities, Paul Stover, said that demolition date was un- known and that it would take six months once the building came down to fully restore the site, leading mayor Marilyn Serjeantson to sug- gest that the building can't come down in time for this High tech hounds By FRANCES NIBLOCK The New Tanner A canine census, proof of annual rabies vaccination and for i ing - micro-chips in dogs for iden- tification are all part of the Town's new enhanced dog licensing program approved by council on Monday night.
