Seniors need hall

Dear Editor,

I am responding to the letter Patti Emery wrote about the Arthur Seniors’ Hall.

My husband and I use the hall at least two to four times a week for the VON Exercise in the mornings from 10:30 to 11:30am Wednesdays and Fridays.

We also like to go to Cribbage on Friday nights, play pool  and participate in other activities.

There is not another place where seniors go for fun and activities.

We do not understand why Wellington North wants to close it.

As Patti stated, the upper hall at the arena is difficult for seniors to access, and only available when staff is there.

It is not an alternative.

We would like to see the Hall continue to be available to seniors.

Marilyn Theurer,
Arthur
