Loves new rink
Dear Editor:
I want to publicly thank the volunteers who have built a beautiful outdoor rink on the ball diamonds in Victoria Park in Fergus. They worked in the very early hours last week in temperatures below -12°C to build the base and flood the rink. It is a very cold job!
Every evening after dinner there are at least 50 kids skating or playing hockey, and there are even more on the weekend.
As a retired educator, I know the importance of minimizing our children’s screen time activities.
The volunteers who have built this amazing rink are giving the kids a healthy alternative to staying indoors and playing video games.
They should be publicly recognized and thanked.
Kit Scott,
Fergus
