The arena undergoes maintenance every summer and routine air testing came up with mold.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always best to have your air quality tested as often as possible, so you can detect an issue before you have a major problem. Putting it off can cost you the use of your business (or beloved hockey arena, in this case) for weeks at a time to have the problem fixed properly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve lost about 250 hours total, between all [three] of the associations,&#8221; said Norm Sharpe, a district chair of the Ottawa District Minor Hockey Association.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We at least know that this facility will be closed until October,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it could theoretically be closed for the full season, for full remediation. But we&#8217;re hopeful to see some hockey here, or some skating, before the winter arrives,&#8221; said Coun. Mathieu Fleury.<\/p>\n<p>If you live in Toronto, Barrie, or Newmarket and have any questions about mold testing or removal, please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.assuranceenvironmental.ca\/contact\">contact us<\/a> at any time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s a cautionary tale for businesses in Toronto, Newmarket and Barrie: Mold testing should never be put off.
