Cayuga - Memorial Arena

Location:  Haldimand County   N 42° 56.800   W 079° 51.110
In front of the arena on Thorburn Street and Chippawa Street E.

The original arena, built in this spot in 1921-22, was dedicated to the memory of those who fought in the Great War.  When this new arena was built in 2011, the town continued the theme of a Memorial Arena.  This large stone sits outside the main entrance of the facility, as a reminder to all who enter, of the sacrifices made by those who came before.
