At a ceremony held today, Mayor Jim Watson and Councillor Jean Cloutier, Alta Vista Ward, celebrated the beginning of work on the new the multi-purpose, year-round outdoor covered refrigerated rink at the Canterbury Recreation Complex. Representatives from project sponsors Jim Tubman Chevrolet, the Ottawa Senators Foundation and the Canterbury Community Association were on hand as the official name of the new facility was unveiled: the Jim Tubman Chevrolet SENS RINK.
Construction of the rink is expected to be completed in December of 2017. Once open, the rink will increase access to hockey and public skating during a four- to five-month ice-in season. During the rest of the year, the rink will be used for ball hockey, basketball and lacrosse, as well as a range of community activities and events.
The Jim Tubman Chevrolet SENS RINK was funded through a combination of a special area levy, development charges, fundraising and sponsorships. Jim Tubman Chevrolet’s sponsorship is a part of the City of Ottawa’s Community Champions initiative, which provides businesses, community groups and public-spirited individuals with an opportunity to become community partners by sponsoring City programs, services and facilities.
