Skating Rink News

The outdoor ice-skating rink is looking for some hearty volunteers to help with the maintenance of the rink this coming winter: such jobs as flooding, snow removal and ensuring proper lighting. Also the Lynwood Village Community Association has 2-3 paid positions available with regard to the daily operation of the rink. Duties include opening and closing the rink and change room, supervising skaters and ensuring that all persons use the ice rink in safely. First-aid is a must and L.V.C.A. will cover the cost of training.

If you are interested in volunteering and/or a paid position, please contact Brian Hickman at 828-5653 between 7-10 PM.

Please read the latest message from the President of LVCA regarding the critical situation affecting this service.

Skate times:

Fall Fair - Sunday October 14th - 2 PM to 4 PM

Our 4th annual Fall Fair took place on Sunday October 14th, 2-4PM. Lynwood Park was the site for Egg & Spoon races, Sack races, Three legged races and much more.

This year's Fall Fair was a total success in many aspects. We had great participation and fun. The weather was so nice that we decided to provide pop drinks rather than hot chocolate. The baked goods were great and greatly helped collect a record amount of money towards the Skating Arena expenses for this year.

Many thanks to all the volunteers that helped making this event a success.

Service Dog Information & Awareness Demo Outcome

This event was organized by Canines with a Cause, a new non-profit organization that started on January 2001 here in Ottawa (Bells Corners) on Saturday June 16, 2001.

NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER OF CANINES WITH A CAUSE:

Althought the number of people attending the event was not excessive, those who attended showed great interest in learning the benefits of Service Dogs.

We are pleased to tell you that since that event, the number of members of the Board of Directors has increased to 5 now.

Our sincere Thank you goes to:

• Lisa Grey, and Java from the Kiwi Society who did an excellent presentation, and her husband Kevin for taking care of photographs
  
  
• Larry and Lola Ryan for not only organizing the Bells Corners United Church Youth group but also offered the use of their video camera and tripod
  
  
• The energetic and very efficient group of young people who worked very hard setting up the room and cleaning it up afterwards
  
  
• Joanne Moss for giving us the idea of inviting the Youth group to get involved in the clean up which save the organization $50 professional cleaning fee for the hall.
  
  
• The media including The Citizen, Majic 1000, CHRI, New RO, and Rogers for freely announcing this community event
  
  
• And to all of you who provided us with contributions to cover the cost of the minimal rental hall fee
