Leighton has a university degree in physical education and his background includes teaching physical education and sports coaching. He told council that the idea of a roof over the Larocque ice rink during his walks in the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it would be a worthwhile project,\u201d Leighton said.<\/p>\n<p>He told council that the winter sun keeps softening the ice at one end of the rink, making the open-air rink less attractive and enjoyable for winter recreation. He said an open-air roof would both prevent the sun from softening the ice and also help prevent or reduce the amount of snow that falls on the rink during the day and night or gets blown into the enclosed area during a winter storm. This would reduce the amount of time and work for recreation or public works crews to remove the snow so that residents can usethe rink for skating or hockey.<\/p>\n<p>Council members expressed interest in Leighton\u2019s suggestion. Recreation Director Genevi\u00e8ve Goulet told council that Leighton\u2019s suggestion will be included in a future report to council dealing with suggestions, comments, and recommendations from residents collected during last month\u2019s public open house session on the official community plan and the parks and recreation master plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Hawkesbury resident thinks the Larocque Park ice rink should have a roof overhead to keep the snow off during winter and encourage more public skating at the neighbourhood park.
