Parks staff tout wrap program milestone, report steady winter operations
Summary
Staff reported that winter programs (curling, youth hockey, holiday camps) ran successfully in December and that the wrap program recorded more than 10,000 individual visits last year; staff also described snowmaking and ice-rink reservation practices to manage capacity.
During the meeting, a parks staff member (speaker 6) reviewed December recreation activity — adult curling, youth hockey, sold-out holiday camps — and praised community partners and volunteers; the staff member credited partners such as the Rotary and Kiwanis for event support.
“We've reached a new milestone with our wrap program. Over this year, we've had over 10,000 individual visits coming into the wrap,” the staff member said, emphasizing that the program functions as both recreation and a social-service access point for the community. Staff also reported active snowmaking last night to keep the sled hill and winter-sports-park operations open and discussed reservation limits for the ice rink (about 42 people per session) to manage demand.
