A new name has been chosen for the Glencoe Memorial Arena. At the Southwest Middlesex Council meeting last week, a name was picked and the facility will now be known as the Southwest Middlesex Recreation Centre. The area is currently under renovations and is expected to be finished and open by the start of the new year.
Council was directed to seek name recommendations from residents of the municipality, so a survey was put out to the public and the winning name comes with a prize of a gift card for a local restaurant and a skating pass for one season. More than half the submissions on the survey indicated that the name should be changed.

Council directed that input be gathered from the public about the potential for re-naming of the Glencoe Memorial Arena that is currently under renovation. Council members were also recommended to seek input directly from constituents. Staff posted a Survey Monkey online and made available paper ballots at the front office. A draw for a gift certificate from a local eatery and a skating pass for one season will be made for those that participated. 54 submissions were received and it is noted that more than half of the suggestions were to rename the facility.
Council made the decision, based on the votes submitted, to rename the Glencoe Memorial Arena to Southwest Middlesex Recreation Centre.
