Press release
The Minnedosa Regional Events Centre Site Selection Committee has found a home for its new arena complex. An agreement in principle has been struck with the Minnedosa Agricultural Society to acquire approximately 40 acres of the Minnedosa Fair Grounds located on 6th Avenue NW. The Ag Society will retain approximately 8 acres of the property along the western boundary and as part of the deal will get a new show barn.
The acquisition of this large parcel of land opens the door to many possibilities and will allow the Design Committee to begin work with architects and developers to design a facility to meet the needs of all potential users.
The Events Centre Funding Committee will soon be able to begin its capital campaign. To kick things off, they are holding a Time, Treasure and Talent Auction on Friday evening, July 10th immediately after the Rotary Dinner at the old arena. They also plan to hold a Christmas Gala on December 12th. Anyone wishing to make a donation can direct it to the Minnedosa Regional Events Centre Inc., Box 1425, Minnedosa, Manitoba R0J 1E0.
Full details of the deal between the Event Centre and the Ag Society are pending the preparation and signing of a formal written agreement between the parties.
