Due to an unexpected mechanical issue, the Steve and Rob Michelin Rink\u00a0is\u00a0temporarily closed until further notice. We would like to inform residents that all activities, rentals, and scheduled programming at the rink have been cancelled while the issue is being addressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Please note that the rest of the facility\u00a0remains\u00a0open to the public, and all regular programming including the pool, gymnasium, and classes, is continuing as usual.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A mechanical failure in the refrigeration system has caused the rink temperature to rise, making it impossible to\u00a0maintain\u00a0safe and reliable ice conditions. As a result, the rink must remain closed while the necessary corrective work is completed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This situation is being treated as a priority. Our goal is to reopen the\u00a0rink as\u00a0soon as possible, however, the timeline depends on the delivery and installation of the replacement equipment, so we cannot confirm a reopening date at this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the pool has been heated using energy recovered from the rink’s cooling system. As we evaluate alternative heating solutions, solar covers will be used to help retain heat overnight and minimize heat loss.<\/p>\n
We understand that the ice rink is an important space for residents, community activities, and scheduled programming, and we recognize that this closure is frustrating and disappointing. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to restore the facility and will share updates as soon as more information becomes available.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
