Ice problems at Dieppe oval

The new skating oval in Dieppe has been shut down because of the ice…or lack of it.

Problems with the refrigeration system left the ice very thin in spots, down to the concrete. So they have shut it down until repairs can be made. It won’t cost taxpayers anything because the refrigeration plant is under warranty.
