PRESENTATION BY COUNCIL PRESENTATION COMMITTEES / CONSULTANTS DEPUTATION Chantal McLean-Leroux - Ice Schedule Vankleek Hill Skating Club Mrs. Chantal McLean-Leroux, Treasurer of the Vankleek Hill Skating Club made a request to Council for specific ice time at the Vankleek Hill arena for the Skating Club during the season. The Club has been scheduled ice time on Wednesdays and Fridays as per their request. However, they have also requested ice time on Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. as they have done for previous years (the 10:30 to 11:30 slot being for their Canskate program, for which there are usually children registered), but have been told that this time slot is not available. They have been offered a choice of ice time between 12:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Mrs. McLean Leroux stated that changing the ice time hours will have a detrimental impact on their club; they anticipate a loss of registration and a loss of volunteers, since the volunteer certified trainers are not available on Saturday afternoons. The Director of Parks & Recreation informed Council that there are 13 groups requesting prime time ice and the schedule for the coming season has been prepared in order to best accommodate all the groups. The morning time-slot has been allocated to minor hockey (with 260 registrants). The Mayor stated that Council will consider the request.
