Dubreuilville to Rename Arena in Honour of Local Hero

Dubreuilville's celebrating the completion of renovations to its arena by renaming the facility in honour of a local hero.

Mayor Beverly Nantel says the Township's chosen to recognize the community contributions and other efforts of Eddy Lefrancois, a Dubreuilville ALS activist who passed away earlier this year.

The community's invited to the celebration, which will be attended by Algoma-Manitoulin MPP Michael Mantha and family, friends, and supporters of Lefrancois's "Let's Roll" campaign - those attending are encouraged to wear purple in honour of the campaign.

The ceremony starts at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
