Rotary Club of Palgrave’s Weekly Rotary Minute

Winter skating on the Palgrave Pond has been a Caledon tradition for many years.
I believe a smile crosses all of our faces as we come around the bend in Palgrave and see the pond filled with children (young and old) and families on a crisp winter day.
For the past 20 years, local resident Ken Hunt has almost single-handedly kept the ice cleared for the local community. Using his own money and without fanfare, Ken would rise very early each morning to shovel and flood the ice, provide nets, hockey sticks, benches, etc.
Most deservedly, Ken has retired from his role, but we are happy to ensure that the tradition will continue.
The Rotary Club of Palgrave and the local volunteer firefighters have teamed up to maintain the outdoor rink this winter.
The Rotary Club will provide financial support for this season and the firefighters will diligently keep the ice rink and skating path open.
Looking forward to colder weather and happy skating!
