The Outdoor Community Rink Program allows community groups to operate a community rink on municipal owned property. Applicants can apply for a grant of up to $1,000 to help cover insurance costs associated with operating the rink.
Background
The Outdoor Community Rink Program was approved by Regional Council in November 2021. It aims to support community groups in advancing community-based projects while encouraging residents to enjoy outdoor winter activities in their own neighbourhoods.
