Another chance to speed skate on Grenadier Pond

Six of us – David, Dolly, Jody, Neil, Taisa and I – skated Grenadier Pond this morning. It took 30 minutes to shovel a 350 metre oval. The ice was fine, so we were able to fly! Neil will be sending me some photos to post here.

We enjoyed it so much that we want to do it again. The plan is to meet up tomorrow afternoon (Sunday Jan 27) at 2:00 p.m. at the southwest corner of the Pond. Bring a shovel, in case we need clear away the bit of snow that the weatherman has forecasted.

Street parking is available on Ellis Gardens, one block north of The Queensway running west off Ellis Avenue. Take the Lakeshore eastbound, turn left at Ellis Avenue. Ellis Gardens is the first street left after you go through the light at The Queensway.
