Starting Monday, work began to cover and cap the boards of the arena with polythelene sheeting and install armorplate glass around the edge of the entire ice surface. The total cost of the work will be $16,000, of which $4,000 will be supplied by a grant from the provincial Community and Recreation Centres Act, and the remain- ing $12,000 will be supplied by the Brooklin and District Kinsmen Club. Completion of the work is expected by May 5.

The original arena was demolished in 1972 and replaced by the existing structure, but the original boards were kept, and are presently in a rather dilapi- dated condition. The covering of the boards and the installation of glass at the arena will be the major service project of the Brooklin and District Kins- men Club in 1979.
