On Saturday, February 28, 1959 about 9am, a peewee hockey game got under way in the Listowel, ON arena. Suddenly, at 9:27am, without any immediate warning, the roof and the walls of the rink section of the arena collapsed with thundering noise. 

Seven boys and one adult were killed and thirteen boys were injured. Of those who were on the ice and in the players' box, only two climbed out of the debris unharmed. Only a small part of the arena remained standing, namely the entrance section at the western end which had interior partitions. 

In recognition of this tragedy, we are building a park on the site of the former Listowel Memorial Arena to commemorate the families and community members affected.
