Ice Rink and Skating Lessons

2022-01-07 18:03

Hi Everyone,
The weather is finally warming up and the rink is ready to go!
Thank you to all the rink crew volunteers who are out there in the brutal cold clearing and flooding the rink. A porta-potty has been installed and beautifully painted benches are provided for easier physical distancing. Play safe and be kind.
If you would like to volunteer to help maintain the ice rink, contact Dave Browne, the Ice Rink Coordinator, at ice@standrewsheights.ca
