“This is going to another great community event and HRM's George Dixon Centre, the Pep Bro Divas, and the 615 Air Cadet Squadron will be there to celebrate our second year of community partnership with the rink,” she said.

The rink is fun for all ages and our cadets are enthusiastic about this weekend's official opening. We look forward to continued involvement in this most important community initiative for years to come."
