Agenda Item 4-B <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: January 19, 2021 <br /> <br />TO: Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee <br /> <br />FROM: Joe Vaughan, Recreation Programmer <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Ice Rink and Recreation Update Memo <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The City ice rinks officially opened to the public on January 2, 2021. The warming houses <br />remain closed to the public due to COVID-19. City staff has received positive feedback from <br />many residents and the community as a whole. The ice rinks have been very busy since they <br />opened. While a rink attendant is on site, the rinks are averaging around 20-30 skaters per hour. <br />The City is not conducting ice rink reservations or warming house rentals this winter season. <br /> <br />The City offered two Holiday events, Letters from Santa and a Virtual Santa event, during <br />December 2020. Both programs were received well by residents. This was the first year the City <br />has conducted a Virtual Santa event. There were around 10 kids who participated in the event. <br />The City has also begun running the monthly Foot Care Clinic for adults at City Hall and skating <br />lessons at Cummings Park. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
