A Message from Councillor Josh Matlow, Ward 22, St. Paul’s:
After working closely with parents in our community, I’m delighted to announce that the “SkinnamaRink” natural ice rink (near our newly named Sharon, Lois & Bram Playground) at June Rowlands (Davisville) Park is now open for fun! This season, Hodgson Rink is temporarily closed for necessary repairs. While I was very upset about the timing of this work, members of the community and I felt that it was important there still be a local rink for our kids to skate in the interim. I deeply appreciate our remarkable local parents/residents who worked incredibly hard to make this happen including Chris Trussell, Jon De La Mothe (our human Zambonis) and many others!To celebrate the opening of our new rink, AppleTree Markets has organized a Community Skating Party on Sunday, February 23, 2014. The party will be from 10 am to 12 pm, and will feature hot chocolate, music, a food truck and an ice show. I hope to see you there!
