Outdoor Rec Centre Homeleaner Skate Times

Edited to add new skating time for January 10th, Monday.

Hello all,

I have organized a few skating times on the outdoor rink (by the Rec. Centre).

M. January 10, 10:30pm

F. January 14, 1:30pm

W. January 19, 1:30pm

There will be some opportunity to pick up some last minute spots as well, so I will email those out when I am able to get those.

Please note that there is not a supervisor, so make sure that either you stay with your children or that they are old enough to be on their own.

Sometimes the rink will set up nets and hockey to one side of the ice is a possibility.

Let me know if you have any further questions: sharibootsma@telus.net
