Canmore Pond

It takes a lot of work to get the Canmore Pond ready for skaters and this has been a particularly challenging year.

Lisa Guest from the Town of Canmore told me the weather has not been very cooperative with warmer temperatures and heavy snow throwing off their schedule, and while it wasn’t suitable for Skate with Santa and they’re not sure if it’ll be open for Christmas it will be ready for the big New Year’s Eve Party on the Pond celebration.  Sara Renner also stopped by to talk about the “Take it Outside: Community Lives at the Pond” initiative, with the Town providing free hot chocolate and a sound system to people who want to host an event at the Pond during the Canmore Winter Carnival in February/March.
