Thank you for the winter ice rinks

I want to give a shout out to the people who set up the neighborhood ice rinks.
It was a minus-20 wind chill the day they started building and spraying water at the Arthur rink. During the winter, they came back several times to spray fresh water and maintain the rink. The ice rink got a lot of use, from hockey players to families, and young ones just starting to learn.
I hope they are able to bring it back next winter.
