- Notes
- Waterloo Memorial Arena was built in 1946 and dedicated to local residents who died in the First and Second world wars. It was officially opened on February 15, 1947. The arena was built by Silver Lake in Waterloo Park on the site of a former garbage dump. The building was condemned in 1987 and the roof and walls were replaced with a plastic air-filled dome. The arena was demolished in 2001 and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics was built on the site. The recreation complex on Father David Bauer Drive was renamed the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex upon demolition of the arena.
