There's lots of art work included. There are large murals so I have another post on this one.
Of course , I'm interested in the ice. It has an excellent ice surface and is comfortably warm.
So I had a good skate today.
Now there are no photos of me but the two ladies in white and pink are both in their mid 80's
How nice that you have a new arena and one with good ice for skating too! It sounds like you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteIt's always a good time when skating!
DeleteThat is so nice to see the "oldies" still skating!
ReplyDeleteYes, nice to see seniors skating but so many more could skate.
DeleteIt looks great! And those two women could be twenty years younger! :-)
ReplyDeleteThose two women are also excellent skaters.
DeleteWhat fun for you! I know you love your skating. Good work.
ReplyDeleteYes, if you can call me skating!!!
Deletethe best exercise one can do, especially adding a stick.
ReplyDeleteI'll stay way from the sticks but I know what you mean.
DeleteIt looks like a good sized ice rink. I have never learned how to skate!
ReplyDeleteRegular sized rink. There's lots more to do than skate.
DeleteAre you referring to this arena? - "Located in downtown Rotary Recreation Park adjacent to the Pidherney Curling Centre, the Servus Arena is a modern, NHL-sized rink constructed to meet environmental and accessibility standards."
ReplyDeleteYou got it. The money came from grants in support of Canada Winter Games for 2019!
DeleteI have a feeling that skating (and other physical activity) is the reason those mid-eighties ladies got to be where they are :) I'm not sure I could stand up on skates any more but when I was younger I went regularly.
ReplyDeleteboth of them have skated all their lives.
DeleteHow fun! I love to see older people who are still active. We have some "over 80" skiers on our ski bus.
ReplyDeleteA surprising number of seniors are active but there should be many more who are active.
DeleteThat is wonderful to see elders out there skating. I couldn't do it, skating on blades never was one of my favorite things to do. It's fantastic that you got some nice photos of them skating.
ReplyDeletewith the new skates you would have no problem to skate.
DeleteNice rink! Looks like you have good company to skate with also! Send warmer weather please...thank you:)
ReplyDeleteSkaters are a lively friendly bunch. I don't have any warmer weather until Mon. or tues. Right now we have a storm.
DeleteWonderful to see people in their mid-80's ice skating!! Looks like a very nice arena.
ReplyDeleteFor an arena it has some other features like meeting rooms.
DeleteThat is wonderful! Skating is a fun activity. My husband and I have been talking about it a lot lately. This is an activity we plan to do together soon. I just need to buy skates since I haven't done this in a very long time.
ReplyDeleteYes, get out there. Skating pairs is great fun.
Deletewow this is so inspirational for me Red!
ReplyDeletei am glad you found the new arena nice and had great skate there
i envy to these wonderful ladies and i am wondering if can do this?
They make skating seem effortless.
Deletemid-80s? Amazing. I am motivated...if not to crack a bone on the ice, to at least work more on balance and core body strength.
ReplyDeleteWe had one many skate until he was 91.
DeleteI never could ice skate, so bravo for you! (We didn't have much -- or, actually, ANY -- opportunity when I was growing up in Florida!)
ReplyDeleteWell there's much more that you can doe besides skate! There, I admitted it.
DeleteHi Red, How great is that ... 80 and still ice skating! I'm putting this on my list of things to try one of these days.
ReplyDeleteWe had one man skate until he was 91.
DeleteMakes me realize . . . oh man, I didn't go ice skating this year, maybe for the first time in my life! Could it be ... I'm getting old?
ReplyDeleteYes, you better get out and skate~
DeleteAlways impressed to see people ice skating. I could never quite get the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteMuch better skates these days. There's much more support.
DeleteHello, the new arena looks nice. The skating is fun, I have not been in a long time. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day and new week ahead.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ice-skated since my teens and then only with consummate lack of grace and ability.
