NORFOLK ARENAS - What's happening?
What is your local Minor Hockey Association saying about the Norfolk County 2020 Budget decisions? Well, here it is.
Below is the growing collection of positions being tabled to Norfolk

and send in your own email, letter, tweet, etc to your Councillor,
Mayor, MPP, etc. We are encouraging open engagement and discussion on
this matter with our elected officials.
