The Town of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, is asking residents to suggest a new official name for the community building located at 123 Empire Street. The facility was formerly known as the Bridgewater Memorial Arena, but it has been updated to serve as a multi-use space.
The building currently houses the Bridgewater Farmers’ Market and the South Shore Players theatre group. It is also used as a base for the town’s parks and transit services. Since the building is no longer an arena, the town wants a name that better fits the activities happening there today.
Community members can submit their ideas until March 31, 2026. The name chosen by the town will be featured on the building’s signs and used in all official town records.
