Notes

posted December 20, 2005

• For classes or permits call Nancy Aranha at 416-392-0746
• There is a hot chocolate machine that works, but no other food.
• The women's washroom appears to be a hallway between the main change area and the office.
• Helmets: strictly enforced for children under 6.
• There are no lockers.
• The rubber mats in the changeroom only go far enough to reach the first few spots on the benches, leaving most of the changeroom unavailable to people without skateguards.

From rink user Raf Lewis:

1pm. A good turnout of parents with their little ones, and quite a few teens. There was a lively shinny game going on on the shinny pad. There was one rink guard who kept moving between the bench at the side of the rink and the changing room.
