The Norma Moore Memorial Gladstone District Arena will be receiving some financial assistance from the Municipality of Westlake-Gladstone. Mayor David Single says they're paying a Hydro bill, a water bill and giving the arena money for a fire suppression system as well as contributing about six thousand additional dollars, noting the total assistance comes to approximately ten thousand dollars. Single says the arena is a huge asset to the Gladstone community and the entire municipality, adding they want to see it continue to be just that.

He adds this kind of help is something council has given in the past and they will continue to do so. Single says many community members volunteer at the arena and council definitely wants to support all those great volunteers.
