How do you use our parks? The City wants your feedback

In addition to two surveys, you can join one of several facilitated Zoom sessions in the next two weeks to learn more. You can also send written comments, if you do not have time for another Zoom meeting.

Volunteers Needed: Frank Ryan Park Outdoor Rink

The snow has fallen. The trees are bare.  It’s time to get excited for winter activities. The best thing we can do for our mental and physical health this pandemic winter is to enjoy the great outdoors in our own neighbourhood. The Frank Ryan outdoor rink needs volunteers like you to continue to receive support from the city, provide changing facilities, and ensure a safe environment.

Student with a light weekday afternoon of classes? New to the neighbourhood and looking to meet people? Snowbird stuck north of the border? Desk jockey who doesn’t spend an hour a day commuting anymore?  This opportunity is for you.

Sign up here by December 15th and you will be contacted in regard to scheduling, access, and safety protocols.
