Group agrees to retain arena name

The name of the PMD Arena will remain unchanged.

The township’s parks and recreation committee passed a motion at its Sept. 19 meeting agreeing to keep the arena name as is. The committee had earlier recommended that it be named strictly for Drayton.

The initials for the arena come from the three former municipalities – Peel and Maryborough Townships and Drayton – and it was built with financing provided by all three.

Council at its meeting last month rejected the idea of changing the name, and asked that the old sign for the building be reinstalled. It had been removed for a major renovation project.
