Arenas Halls Get Hydro Billing Aid for 1980
Manitoba Fitness Minister Bob Banman confirms continuation of the Energy Assistance for Public Recreation Facilities program into 1980. The plan offsets higher Hydro demand billing by comparing it to general service rates, with savings based on a 1979 survey of 1100 facilities showing 150 on demand billing and half saving costs. Additional help comes from the Sports Facilities ’80 program, plus a five year hydro rate freeze, with regional offices offering guidance.
