One year later, the people sourcing the funding needed to renovate the Shawville Arena have a lot to brag about.
The Pontiac Arena Fund is thanking every volunteer, donor, sponsor, and supporter who helped gather $235,000 since first forming in 2025, approximately 34% of the $700,000 they are expecting to cover of the project’s estimated $2 million price tag.
Speaking previously with myFM News, fund member Mike Rusenstrom noted that the artificial ice at the arena, which has been in place since 1965, needs to be refurbished to mee the growing needs of the community.
The fund says that the continued support boils down to the strong belief, commitment, and pride residents habe for the arena and the community.
