Park opening delayed

The latest Public Health Orders regarding the coronavirus have the City of Kelowna pushing back the opening date of the Stuart Park ice rink this year.

The city says it will use a phased operational model to open the rink in a safe and adapted manner.

“We will continue to keep our rink operation plans flexible to align with provincial direction and will use our phased operational model to open the rink in a safe and adapted manner when it is deemed appropriate to do so,” said Doug Nicholas, Sport and Event Services Manager. “We’ll be keeping a close eye on the latest updates from the Province and will reassess our opening timeline based on the information provided.”

It is expecting further direction for recreational facilities and programs around December 7th.
