Oakville Arena, located at 133 Rebecca St., was built in 1950 and has served as a community hub for more than six decades. It's also one of only four remaining arenas in Ontario with a distinctive wooden trussroof system, designed by Norman Otto Hipel, politician and builder who patented the roof system in 1928. Following extensive public consultation, Council approved a resident-supported plan to revitalize and expand the facility while maintaining its historical features. The project will expand the existing Oakville Arena to a 65,500-sq.-ft. community centre while preserving the arena's wooden roof trusses. The community centre will include an NHLsized ice pad, seniors' centre, public meeting space, fitness centre, full-size gymnasium and an indoor running track.
