Mile End arena closes for years
There’s a hockey arena in Mile End and it’s been closed down for repairs till at least 2025. Some residents are not happy about this.
With Legault’s talk about supporting hockey, shouldn’t there be funds to speed up repairs of facilities like this?

In central Montreal? Are you kidding me?

It’s not just a hockey arena. They had free ice skating several times a week which was super popular among families, as well as hosting ice skating lessons. They also had great roller derby tournaments there, which were packed with hipsters, teens and families alike and great fun. It’s some serious typical corrupt Montreal bullshit that it was shut down like this with no announcement and a lot of lies about freon and other nonsense. Please sign the petition!

OK, I had no idea. And you’re right, jeather. In central Montreal.
