“The ice isn’t looking very good right out there right now. There are considerable holes in it, so it’s unsafe,” said Harvey.
The city plans to get the rink functional again by next week if the weather gets cold again.
“We’ll need to look at rebuilding it next week once we know exactly the extent of the damage done,” said Harvey.
The event was initially scheduled for January 27th and was postponed to February 2nd before being cancelled.
