The councillor has confirmed that an outdoor skating rink will be installed at Strathburn Park this winter. Your engagement with this request provided the momentum necessary to secure this space for our neighbourhood. I look forward to seeing the community enjoy the ice once the season begins.

To Councillor Anthony Perruzza,
We are reaching out to you in the hope you can recognize the need to enhance the offerings of Strathburn Park to our community.
The joy to put on a pair of skates to go skating enables us to embrace one of the activities associated with one of the traditions of Canadian winters. Community members of Humberlea would like to have an outdoor skating rink at Strathburn Park. We already have an outdoor rink being used in spring/summer for floor hockey which is always utilized and this would be the perfect space for our community members to enjoy the area for winter skating.
Currently we have to travel outside our neighborhood to go into other communities in order to enjoy a skating adventure. It has been extremely challenging to book in other neighbourhoods as they are already densely populated. Now with new restrictions it has been even more of a struggle.
We appreciate your attention in adding this addition to our community for all to enjoy.
Anthony Perruzza, as our councillor, we are eager to hear how you will handle this request for our community members.
Signed, Your members of Humberlea Community

The feedback from our neighbors reveals how much we miss having a local space for winter movement. While I wait for a formal response from the office of Councillor Perruzza, I find myself thinking about the families who currently travel across the city just to find ice. This project is about restoring a simple winter tradition to our own park.
January 31, 2021
Seeing this momentum gather brings a sense of clarity regarding how deeply our neighbors long for a space to connect during the winter months. It is encouraging to realize that so many people share the same vision for utilizing Strathburn Park. This collective interest demonstrates that our community is ready to embrace a new local tradition.

With the growing population in the school community of St. Simon’s just up the street, this would be a much needed addition for the community! Step up Anthony Peruzza, show the voters in your new contingency that you care.
The park rink requires flooding. The initial idea has merit but the concept requires regular maintenance for the community
Our kids shouldn’t have to go to the Westway or Summerlea to skate and learn the joy of what it has to offer. Let’s provide it to them in their own backyard.
Very much a need in the community as skating lessons at rinks are unaffordable and cannot always have parents involved
When we were growing up, Mr Kerr, who still lives es across the street would water the skating rink every night. We LOVED IT. Bring it back for our kids please.
I believe it can be done and is much needed.
This neighbourhood deserves a great skating rink!

The rink would be great for community development! I will teach the locals how to skate!
