The arena is owned and operated by Irene and Larry Parisien.  We both have many years experience with dogs in various venues such as conformation, obedience, field and agility.  We currently own one German Shepherd and two Labrador Retrievers.  To round out the household we also have three cats and recently added a yard full of ducks, geese and peafowl.  

The construction of the arena started in the spring of 2006 with land clearing.  The big equipment came later along with 2800 tonnes of rock for the base.  The arena arrived on the 3rd of August and we are hoping it will be finished in time for the open

The arena was finished and open on September 24^th 2006. If you have any questions please feel free to drop us a line at  redgatearena@sympatico.ca or by phone at 613-253-8641.
