No Ice Oval Opening Today

Saturday, December 14, 2013 @ 6:03 AM

Prince George, B.C. – The  ice oval , on the west side of the Kin Centres in Prince George, was supposed to  officially open  today, but, the  snowstorm this week and the warming  temperatures have  nixed that.

First, crews have to  find out if there is any ice under all the fresh snow,  and that will take  time to  clear off the surface.  So  you may see crews  in the area, but  the gate to the ice  oval  will  remain closed.

The official  opening  will be held  in the near future, but no date has been set.

So what is happening with the ice oval for the 2015 winter games? Is it being used? Will a temporary artificial refrigeration system be installed or will we be crossing our fingers?

I say scrap the winter games and safe some tax dollars for something I am sure most of us don’t want

I agree , let’s put tax dollars to services the benefit all tax payers not just some . Many are not in favor of winter games , and other luxuries being put before required services . I am not against the games or performing arts etc but they are luxury that only a percentage of citizens will utilize , but services like policing , ambulance and fire , snow removal etc should take front stage to anything else . Once those are satisfied then look at the luxury services .
