Application window open for neighbourhood rinks program

The City of Grande Prairie is accepting applications for its neighbourhood rinks program.

Residents interested in building and maintaining a rink in a local park are asked to find a group of at least five volunteers before applying; successful applicants will then receive supplies and support from the City, free of charge.

Applications are being accepted until Dec. 15, but supplies are limited and will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

The city says that there are a few requirements if approved, including undergoing rink setup training and completing a monthly log.
