Outdoor Rink ready for skaters on Little Lake

This current winter has been kinder to skaters than the last few years.  An outdoor rink was constructed and open for community use on January 20 close to the Little LaCloche Lake landing.  

The evening of the social media announcement that the rink was ready saw a dozen community members already on their blades and tearing up the ice.  

Community Mentor, Michael Abitong, thanked Kevin Corbiere and Charlie Eshkakogan for plowing the lake in a post on Facebook.  

Last year’s rink was located near the landing at Big LaCloche Lake.  

One community family donated a bench for players use in lacing up and resting.  

In a post on Facebook, elders recalled their younger days in Sagamok clearing the ice on the lakes and river to skate throughout the winter season, noting that the ice season seemed longer back then.
