The City of Ottawa is closing recreational arenas.

1.)  Tom Brown Skating Arena, 141 Bayview Station Road-2 minutes away from City Centre on 250 City Centre Avenue, where business owners were given two weeks notice to vacate the premises. On December 1, 2020.  

2.)  RCGT Baseball Park, 300 Coventry Road-Site Area: 6.64 ha.Requirement: To disengage from stadium uses.(Google: "Document 1, Affordable Housing Opportunities.") Apparently the baseball park has now been rented for ten years.

3.)  Belltown Dome, 2915 Haughton Avenue -a few minutes by car from where I live in Bayshore.

4.)  McNabb Arena, 180 Percy Street.

5.)  J.A. Dulude Arena, 941 Clyde Avenue, River Ward. 

The future of the Terry Fox Athletic Complex in River Ward is being determined."The City will implement a master redevelopment plan for Mooney's Bay/Terry Fox Athletic Complex".(Google:"Confederation Heights 1950-2050.")

Petition: To save Ottawa's single pad ice rinks. - Change.org. "The City of Ottawa wants to close Tom Brown, Dulude, Belltown Dome, Mcnabb and a few other arenas in the city. These rinks are not only useful but a home for many Minor Hockey Leagues and it's players as well as the communities they're located in." 7,212 signatures are on the petition.

In February of 2020 the city gave away a landmark in Chinatown, the Dalhousie Community Centre:

The former Dalhousie Community Centre, 755 Somerset Street West.Somerset Ward.
