Ice making process to start at two RDFFG rinks

The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George says the ice making process will start at a couple of rural rinks this week.

At the start of this month, the Regional District announced ice-making would be indefinitely suspended at the Robson Valley Recreation Centre in McBride and the Canoe Valley Recreation Centre in Valemount.

This was due to uncertainty from potential job action by CUPE 1699.

According to the Regional District, the ice making process takes about 12 days.

However, they say even if the ice-making process can be completed, it does not guarantee the ice surfaces will be available for continuous public use, as they do not have the exempt staff (non-union and/or management) required to safely maintain it for residents’ daily use.

As ice-making progresses, the Regional District will continue to share updates.
