After the success of the outdoor rink adjacent to Msgr. Morrison Catholic School last year, all parties involved are moving ahead with plans for this winter.
In a report to council for Monday evening, Jeff Bray Director of Parks, Recreation and Property Management advises Doug Tarry Homes plans to continue with the rink, working with the same sponsors Home Hardware, Impressions Printing and the St. Thomas Fire Department.
This year the proposed rink will be a prefabricated 28 by 52-foot package with off-duty firefighters completing the initial flood plus subsequent floods as needed.
Of course, the entire program is weather dependent and the rink will open as soon as temperatures drop and remain open as the weather permits.
