ICE RINK CLOSURE TRIGGERS PARENT PROTEST
The District has vowed to reopen Brennan Park as soon as possible, while the construction of second and third rinks is being asked for to address capacity issues WILL JOHNSON

T
hey took it to the streets. A parent-led street hockey game protest took place outside municipal hall Sept. 9 to draw attention to what parents argue is a lack of appropriate ice space in Squamish. At 3:45 p.m., Second Avenue was blocked off as a couple of dozen youth and parents played hockey. It was a peaceful protest, with music playing, and the players allowed a BC Transit bus to drive through the games. They also made room for drivers stuck near muni hall due to the protest to leave.

Nevertheless, buses were temporarily rerouted between Victoria and Main streets due to the demonstration. With Brennan Park being the only available ice rink for a community of about 30,000 people—and it’s been closed since the
SKYRIDGE DUPLEX
beginning of the month due to unsafe conditions—tensions have started to boil over.
EMERGENCY COUNCIL MEETING Just hours after the protest on Sept. 9, the District council discussed Brennan Park at a

special business meeting. Municipal staff delivered a report, inviting the community to attend in person or listen live via squamish.ca/meetings. RINK: Continued on 2
