Now they just need Mother Nature to co-operate with some colder temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>The rink area had been cleared of snow earlier in the month and then warmer temperatures and rain arrived. Town staff were out again yesterday clearing the rink in hope that the sub-zero temperatures in the forecast for this weekend might firm up the ice surface enough to make it suitable and safe for skating.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t even tell you how excited my staff are when they get to go and make the rink,&#8221; said Colleen MacDonald, Manager of Parks and Cemeteries. &#8220;They just want to get out there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The rink surface was slushy yesterday and there are still soft spots particularly at the shoreline access point, said MacDonald. But if the forecast holds true, the rink could be open for public skating as early as next week.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26265\" style=\"width: 717px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26265\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26265\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/01\/Cann-Lake-access-e1486149973120.jpg\" alt=\"Cann Lake skating rink sign\" width=\"707\" height=\"397\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-26265\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Cann Lake skating rink is still closed, but Town staff are hopeful it will be open by early February (Photo: Colleen MacDonald)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Once it&#8217;s open, the rink will be free to use during posted hours &#8211; watch the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huntsville.ca\/en\/living\/skating.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Town&#8217;s website<\/a><\/span> for details &#8211; but as a natural ice surface, ongoing availability depends on weather conditions.
