Legacy
Established in 2018, the society has always been dedicated to promoting healthy, active lifestyles and fostering a sense of community among its patrons.
In 2019, the Society successfully completed Phase One of its outdoor community rink rebuild project, which included the construction of a new outdoor rink surface and boards, a concrete base, and improved safety and accessibility features. The project was a resounding success, with increased usage, positive community feedback, and an incredible showing of local engagement across all ages.
Phase two of the Society's outdoor community rink rebuild project is a continuation of this commitment to providing accessible, high-quality sports facilities for people of all ages and abilities. The project includes the resurfacing and rejuvenation of the tennis courts next to the rink and the construction of a heated rink shack facility with bathrooms and equipment storage.
The rink shack will provide a comfortable space for rink patrons to rest and warm up between skating sessions. It will also house a future ice resurfacing machine and provide a central hub for rink operations and maintenance. This project represents a significant investment in the community and a continuation of the Society's long-standing tradition of promoting active living and community engagement.
To achieve this vision, the Society is seeking the support of a variety of stakeholders, including residents of the Graminia community, local businesses, Parkland County, provincial & federal governments, and private foundations. The Society will leverage its existing relationships and pursue new opportunities for funding and support to ensure the successful completion of the project.
The Graminia Rink Society is committed to ensuring that phase two of the project is completed in good time, on budget, and to the highest standards of quality. The Graminia Community Rink Project Society will oversee all aspects of the project, working closely with stakeholders, project managers, contractors, and the community to ensure effective communication and collaboration.
Join us in our vision for a vibrant, inclusive, and thriving community. Together, we can create a lasting legacy of accessible, high-quality sports facilities that will benefit the Graminia community for generations to come.
