Turned down Rink repairs too costly continued from p.1 of Natural Resources and Forestry that administers provincial parks in Ontario. Coady said it would be an expensive proposition to fix the rink. "An independent refrigeration service provider and the Technical Standards and Safety Authority indicated costly repairs would be required to address health and safety issues. "Initial estimates are in excess of $2 million. The outdoor ice rink is past the point of being repaired. A complete replacement would be required including the ice pad, refrigeration plant, landscaping and support structures."

Shame on the Province, who by the way is supposed to be committed to active lifestyle programs.... "We have wonderful memories of evenings spent at this beautiful rink -- snow falling, music playing, deer watching the skaters from the safety of the hillside that provided a buffer from the winter winds. "The rink, I will admit, was not well-used, but it seemed not to be well-promoted either. So many people we mentioned our adventures to had no idea there was a rink there at all. "... Did they even consider a partnership for funding, brand it as Tim Hortons, McDonalds, Starbucks, whoever would come to the rescue and... this lovely winter place likely could have remained for all to enjoy -- deer included?" inside today's Jim Panasiuk Beaver www.insideHALTON.com Real Estate New Homes Alexanian Carpet Wo Thai Direct: (905) 484 4447 Bus: (905) 338 3737 Fax: (905) 338 7351 juliepanasiuk@royallepage.ca 251 North Service Road West Oakville, ON L6M 3E7 www.firstchoicehomes.ca Direct: (905) 467 4447 Bus: (905) 338 3737 Fax: (905) 338 7351 jim@tmdc.ca Editorial Artscene 6 22 Sports Classified 24 27 *All flyers not necessarily delivered to all homes For home delivery & customer service call 905-631-6095, 5300 Harvester Rd., Burlington New subscriptions call 905-631-6095 or subscribe online @ www.oakvillebeaver.com Authentic Montessori at its Best - For Ages 18 mo.-12 yrs. · An empowering curriculum that engages children · Individual focus to learning your child's DENNIS' AUTO SERVICE s r r TM Ser ving Oakville Since 1990 DENNIS CIACCIA Owner/Operator 501 SPEERS RD.
