  1. One of our biggest activities that we wanted to do was a “Learn to Skate” for those who are International Students, kids of students, and students who don’t know how to skate.
  2. “Kids Skate” where students can bring their children to the rink and have fun with them there.
  3. A “Free for All” where anyone can come in and use the rink, no games (Hockey) would be allowed at that time. Though there will be a specific hour for games.

Both activities will be twice or three time a week option, from Monday to Friday. The rink would open at 10 am and close at 6 pm. For all three, we would get volunteers to help monitor the activities, we are not available.

Algonquin College

Algonquin College was first established in the 1957, so today it would be 48 years old. The very first location for the campus was at the Slater Street Public School, and it only had around 120 students and seven staff members. The name “Algonquin” had come from the First Nation Peoples who had inhabited the Ottawa Valley before it was bought by the city.

Since then, the college has grown to accommodate the increase in the student bodies and has built two other campus in Ontario, and extended the Woodroffe campus with a few more buildings. As well as new programs to attract future students.

The first ever Ice Court was built in the 1970’s in the former area of St. Patrick’s College but it is now known as Immaculata High School. Sadly, the ice court didn’t do so well, and wasn’t done for a few years. But was brought back in 2014, by the AC Student Association, Algonquin College, and programs of the college (such as Carpentry and Recreation and Leisure Survives).

Our Vision: To Encourage students to be active in the Community

Our Goals: To make the ice rink safer and available for all ice play, as well as encourage more International students to participate in skating (few don’t know how to skate).
