They had barely owned it for a week, before it was taken from them.
Sean Crossan woke up to a terrible surprise Christmas Eve morning, finding a smashed lock and an empty shed. His community’s snow blower had been stolen.
The bright orange Ariens snow blower is owned by the Cardinal Creek Community Association. It was being used to keep the community’s new NHL-sized outdoor rink clear for skaters, a task which can take volunteers hours when they only have shovels.
This is the first year the community has as a rink, as well as a snow blower, having bought the latter Dec. 15.
The 32-inch snow blower has a retail price of just under $3,600 and, sadly, is not covered by any insurance, according to Crossan, who is the president of CCCA.
Rather than be defeated, members of community have been using social media to share their story, trying to raise awareness to ensure nobody is fooled into buying their stolen property.
Local city Coun. Bob Monette said the main goal right now is to make sure that those responsible do not benefit from their crime.
“The more we make it aware in the public, the more we can discourage the purchase,” Donette said Wednesday.
Crossan’s main focus is to make sure that his community will be able to keep its rink intact for their big hockey day, which is fast approaching.
Cardinal Creek is hoping to host the city’s largest outdoor children’s hockey game on Feb. 7, calling it Hockey Day in Orléans.
Without their snow blower, it could be a challenge, but it’s one Crossan says he hopes they can overcome.
“We will make it happen one way or another despite this setback,” says Crossan told the Citizen. “We have a saying here at Cardinal Creek, ‘Yes we can. Oui on peut.’ No matter where we are, we find a way to get back.”
