To our dear community, our ice rink is more than just a frozen patch of water; it is a pillar of unity, a breeding ground for memories, and a sanctuary for our children to explore their skills and love for the outdoors. The City of Fernie unfortunately intends to remove our beloved outdoor rink— a generous contribution made amid a tragic event— and relocate it to a community 35 minutes away.

During its prime, our rink was cherished and heavily utilized by the community. Now, its projected removal not only signifies the loss of a physical structure, but a blow to the communal spirit that it engendered, particularly hindering the younger members of our society who will lose an accessible outlet for physical activity.

As concerned residents, we seek to raise awareness about the profound impact this sudden change will have on our community's well-being. Our plea is not merely about preserving a rink, but about safeguarding a critical community resource that fosters togetherness and happiness in Fernie.

Let's not allow our gathering place of joy, memories, and youthful enthusiasm be uprooted and moved. Stand with us in urging the City of Fernie to preserve our cherished ice rink in its current location. Your signature is a voice towards this cause. Please sign our petition to stop the relocation of our community ice rink.
