Ice will be ready at the Castlegar & District Community Complex starting this Monday, August 17!

Thanks to recent upgrades, including the new low-E ceiling, attic insulation and exterior doors, the arena is now more insulated and energy efficient, allowing us to make ice much faster than in previous seasons.

Big thanks to arena staff who have been working hard this week to get the ice ready in record time.

Looking to get on the ice? Contact [email protected] to inquire about available ice times.

👣 The last clues are here!

🌳Koots: May is already coming to a close and it will be time to head off to a new spot for the summer season. If you have not found me yet, take a better look along the fence of the soccer field. Where you see a path leading to the playground is where you will also see me! It has been a wonderful spring and I hope to see even more of you in the Fall! Good luck hunting!

❄️ Snowball: It has been a great year to start lake season early. Bigelow Bay is looking great and the weather has been extraordinary. As you are enjoying the lake, head over to the boat house and look in the trees, and there I will be, just admiring the view. Another week of living the beach life for me before I pack up and move on for the summer, Good luck on your hunt and see you again in the Fall!

🌲👣 Have you found Koots and Snowball yet? We are halfway through May and there is still time to find them in one of our regional parks.

🔍 The third clues are:

🌳Koots: The World Cup is just around the corner, so I thought I would start taking in the action by the soccer field. I have to admit I took the best seat in the house, fully shaded amongst the trees and a perfect spot to watch a corner kick! If you are out playing some soccer this month, stop by and say HI!

❄️ Snowball: A few brave souls have managed to adventure to Bigelow and search high and low to find me, which they did! You better hurry though, at the end of this month I am going to jump into water vessel located in the boat house right next to me! The Spring here has been off to an amazing start, so don’t delay and come out to find me!

🔍 The second clues are:

🌳Koots: My hiding spot is proving to be tricky this season as it seems only a few of the best sasquatch hunters have found where I am. Here is my view from where I am hanging out in Bonnington Park!

❄️ Snowball: All of you sasquatch hunters must be a little rusty over the long winter break as no one has found me yet! Who will be the first to spot my white silhouette among the trees at Bigelow Bay?
