This year, the Charlo Outdoor Rink Committee plans to open the rink on December 20 if the weather allows us. We are issuing a distance challenge this winter season to encourage you to keep in good physical shape. We must keep moving to remain flexible and strong. We will place a distance chart in the change room where skaters can register their number of complete turns around the ice surface by indicating how many miles it represents. A conversion chart will be made available. At the end of the season, we will publish the total miles of our community in order to validate if Charlo is moving. So come and experience some pleasure while enjoying outdoor physical activities. The outdoor rink is an excellent way to meet your daily 1 hour of physical activity requirements as is recommended by Charlo “in motion”! “Physical activity- do it for life!
