Melfort Council approves gifting ice-resurfacer to Kinsmen and Kinettes for Dale Frier rink project
City Council in Melfort has given the green light to support the reconstruction of the Dale Frier Memorial Outdoor Rink.
The Melfort Kinsmen and Kinettes approached the City to request the reconstruction and expansion of the outdoor rink, and also asked Council to gift an unused ice-resurfacer to the club to help maintain the rink.
The Kinsmen Club of Melfort and Melfort Kinettes made a presentation to Council on May 12 to request that the City allow the groups to revitalize the rink that has been at the site near Melfort and Unit Comprehensive Collegiate (MUCC) since 1989. The club wants to replace the existing boards with a new, larger set of boards and a larger ice surface. They also plan to build a heated garage next to the rink to store and maintain equipment.
Director of Community Services Rob Lok told northeastNOW the current outdoor rink is showing its age.
