ARC Resources’ free skates return to Dave Barr Community Centre for third year

Free PD day skates are back at the Dave Barr Community Centre for the third year throughout the fall and into next spring.

According to the City, the ARC Resources free PD day skates are scheduled for one day a month for the next eight months starting on September 20th.

Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says the free skates are a significant driver for quality of life in the city, and adds that the days are particularly special for youth to engage in an active lifestyle.

“We’re excited for another year of partnership with ARC Resources to provide more opportunities for recreation in our young community,” she says.

Participants are reminded to bring their own equipment including skates and helmets. Interested residents can pre-register for free skates on the city’s website, and visitors of all ages are encouraged to come out and enjoy free skating in their own backyard.
