As temperatures drop, the Town of Niverville has committed to prepare 3 outdoor skating rinks. The proposed locations are at the Maranatha Church parking lot, the Fourth Ave. Bible Church parking lot, and the Niverville Arena. However, the condition of the rinks will be weather-dependant.
Ryan Dyck, the town’s Operations Manager, explains that if the weather continues to be on the warmer side, as it was throughout much of December, we may not have outdoor skating rinks this year.
Let’s hope for colder weather in the New Year so we can go skating outside and play some pick-up hockey. When the benches and nets are put out on the rinks, that means they are ready to be used.
There is also free public skating at the Niverville Arena on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Visit the Niverville Recreation website for details on public skating times.
