A very successful outdoor ice rink season has come to an end. The volunteers of the local Parks and Recreation Board selected the City of Gloucester to make the ice and provide snow clearing. The City staff provided an excellent service to our community. The ice was superb and the snow was promptly cleared after the many snow falls. For the first time in recent memory the weather cooperated and all rinks w e re open during the Christmas holidays, which extended the season by one week permitting eleven weeks of use. Many thanks to Chris Noyes who volunteered to supervise the rink attendants. Under the new City of Ottawa, the volunteer Recreation and Parks Board no longer exists. Dedicated members of Blackburn Hamlet continue to address Parks issues and are excellent advocates for our community as a Sub Committee of the BCA.
