Fall is setting in and snow is on its way. Soon, North Hatley’s Rivi\u00e8re Park will offer a hockey rink and an ice trail. Many residents are wondering about the maintenance costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, in order to confirm the exact amounts, I did some research to find out who is responsible for the costs and how much it costs the village to maintain a skating rink and ice trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally, North Hatley shares the maintenance costs and allows the people of Hatley Township to use the rink free of charge. Has this agreement been renewed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the latest information, the agreement had still not been renewed as of June 12, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the evolution of the maintenance costs for the North Hatley rink over the last few years, taken from the minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
