Originally the Hume Arena, renamed 1946 to honour veterans of the Second World War.

1956-61: Home ice of the Belleville McFarlands who defeated the Soviet Union in 1959 to win the World Championship. 

2003: Designated.

2010: Ice-making machinery failure, skating no longer feasible.

ACO Quinte joined discussions regarding potential adaptive re-uses. Indoor extension of the adjacent farmers’ market is an option, as are other community uses. To facilitate sale zoning of the Memorial Arena was changed from community to commercial. 2020: Arena sold. Development plan preserves its structure and the weigh scale building (which some say has even more historical significance).
