Outdoor Rinks

While being challenged by fluctuating temperatures and health and safety protocols, Town and community rinks were installed for residents to enjoy outdoor skating. Volunteers and staff spent a considerable amount of time planning, preparing and maintaining Town and community rinks. For that effort, the Town thanks all that were involved.

Here’s a short Thank You video recognizing all staff and volunteers.
