A HUGE THANK YOU: Our rink was one of more than 50 community rinks that received a community rink grant from EPCOR this year!
The grant helps communities like ours create safe places to skate in Edmonton and discourages skating on stormwater facilities. Still ponds may look safe, but they are actually important stormwater facilities with water moving beneath the surface. This makes the ice dangerously unpredictable.
This winter let’s work together to remind friends, family and neighbours to choose a safe location to enjoy the outdoors! #skatesafeyeg
