PRIVATE RENTALS AT THE GBM:
At this time, we have decided as a team to pause private rentals on the outdoor rink this season. Our focus will be to get the rink open and ready to use for public skating and shinny hockey. But with the uncertainty of the weather and not wanting to disappoint, we feel that it is best to keep it open for public use only and maximize community use.
