Thursday School Days
Thursday February 28, 2008
The day started out at -18 celsius, so the rink staff thought the class from St.Rita's wasn't coming. But at 1 pm the temperature had climbed to -12, and it was brilliant sunshine. So their principal let them go. The rink staff had stayed at the office for a meeting, when they got the call from the teacher -- "we're here, but the rink change house is locked -- where are you?"
So Michael Monastyrskyj jumped into a cab and got to Campbell as fast as he could to let the kids in. Then he put on a big pot and everybody had free hot chocolate. The kids put on their skates and played around on the ice, in the snow, and back and forth in and out of the rink house -- checkers, chess, cards, skating again, joking, talking -- a very nice afternoon at the rink.

Singing Christmas carols by the campfire
Parks and outdoor skating rinks are great places for friends and neighbours to meet and have fun, but every once in a while the weather puts a damper on things. On Saturday December 15, park recreation staff together with CELOS organized a party to celebrate the start of the rink season at Campbell. A sound system was set up. Recreation staffers prepared a beautiful fire. Food and hot chocolate were laid out on a picnic table. Rental skates were brought over from Dufferin park so that people who didn't have their own skates could join in. In short, everything was in place for a great party. Unfortunately, the weather didn't co-operate.
