Applications open for Outdoor Community Rink Program
The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that applications have opened for the Outdoor Community Rink Program.
Launched in 2021, this program allows community groups to operate a community rink on municipal-owned property. Applicants can also apply for a grant of up to $5,000 to cover insurance costs associated with operating the rink.
The Outdoor Community Rink Program was approved by Regional Council in November 2021 with an intention to support community groups advancing community-based projects while also encouraging residents to explore outdoor winter activities in their own communities.
For more information on the Outdoor Community Rink Program, including this year’s application form and eligibility criteria, please visit our website. The deadline for applications is October 14, 2022.
