Grenadier Pond

It's been sooo cold lately, that I was wondering if Grenadier Pond would be open.

Well, I'm a little behind the times... Last week, there was an article in the National Post about skating on the Pond. In it, David Michael Lamb of CBC Radio is quoted as saying:

"I'm an avid speed skater and I love long track speed skating on big open tracts of ice," he says.

"Normally you'd have to go to Ottawa or Lake Placid or Calgary or Quebec City. When Grenadier Pond freezes and the conditions are perfect, then we come out here and skate. The ice is flat and thick and fast."

See you at Martin Grove Rink tonight, and out on the Pond this weekend!
