Editor,
After traveling to Smithers to attend a hockey game on the 22nd we realized how unprepared we were for the conditions of the arena.
Metal seats? Really? Do they have shares in the Preparation H company?
Why are so many locals standing? The other side has heat! Well no, heat is padlocked.
Generous Smithereens offered blankets and advise. No heat unless it is -5. No seating in the lobby when warming up. Mother’s juggling babies, handicap and seniors looking for a place to sit.
Time to modernize and consider the needs of others. We had to forgo the second game. Too cold for old bones.
