The Committee was in receipt of a report from Mr. K. Baulk dated October 20, 1994, recommending

by the Committee, he advised that 850-1000 of the best of the old seats are to go into the Kinsmen
arena to replace some bench seating.

it was resolved:
"That the City of Kitchener and Kitchener Ranger Hockey Club initiate a seat name plate
dedication programme at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex in conjunction with the
