  • News Post: North Perth Breaks Ground for Future Listowel Memorial Arena Park

    North Perth, May 7, 2024 – The sod has been turned and construction is officially underway at the future site of the Listowel Memorial Arena Park (MAP ‘59). The ground-breaking marks a significant step forward in honouring the memory of the tragic events of February 28, 1959. The collapse of the former arena structure claimed eight lives, including seven young hockey players and their referee/recreation director.

    The initiative to create the Listowel Memorial Arena Park stems from the community's desire to commemorate the lives lost and provide a space for remembrance and recreation. The MAP ‘59 Fundraising Committee has spearheaded efforts, raising over $700,000 towards the project, showcasing the community's unwavering support and commitment.
