An agreement has been reached between the Municipality of Bluewater and the Bayfield Facilities Initiative Team, for the Bayfield Arena which runs for a 5-year term, beginning July 1st.
With the Community Centre’s annual operating deficit from last year at approximately $115,000, the Municipality has agreed to contribute $65,000 per year, as well as $35,000 per year to a capital reserve.
The negotiation lasted for up to 11 months, but the BFIT has been working on this agreement for years, and Bayfield Councillor Bill Whetstone says that it’s one of the reasons why he decided to run for Council.
