The Orangeville Americans travelled to Shelburne on Friday, January 24, 2014 to match up with the Red Wings for a regular season game at the North Dufferin Community Centre (Shelburne Arena). Upon the game ending an announcement was made by the local Police detachment that the roadways were closing and that supplies would be brought in and that the Shelburne Arena would become an overnight shelter for all road warriors that evening. We read every day how communities and countries around the world have dealt with a unique situation with speed and efficiency. Well you need look no farther than our own community to appreciate how well our Red Cross Services, County EMS Services and both local and OPP Police Services were prepared and organized for this winter storm. The 400 plus individuals that were storm stayed were supplied with cots, blankets and food in a very safe and secure area. I would also personally like to thank the facility maintenance staff and the kitchen snack bar staff for staying late to accommodate everyone. Thank-you to all to help make our community a better place to live for each one of us!
