Notes
posted December 20, 2005
- Helmets: Helmets mandatory all the time.
- To book permits call Nancy Aranha at 416-392-0361.
- The staff person on duty when we visited was very friendly and had a long litany of complaints: burnt out flourescents that had not been replaced in a year, no way to keep the pucks from sliding under the gate onto the pleasure side, a major leak in the men's washroom, a problem with the phone line, and no supply of garbage bags.
- The vending machine in the rinkhouse does not work.

High 1, low -6.
Trying to find out whether Dieppe Rink is open, here's the message: "the mailbox belonging to Dieppe Rink is full."
Letter from John Anderson to City Councillors Davis, Ootes, and Bussin Dec.5 2009
Once again, I am emailing your office regarding the schedules at the outdoor rinks in the east end of Toronto.
To refresh your memory, there is no coordination in the age group scheduling Dieppe, Riverdale, Greenwood and Kew Beach Rinks. For the simple request of including a time slot for parents who have jobs during the day, we are unable to take our kids under 12 to play shinny as all the time slots at each of the above rinks have these ending at 6PM.
Now, the staff at Dieppe has been very accomodating with adding a Thursday evening skate for the parents/kids (I believe it is Johnny Bergeron that has been very helpfull in making this happen). It would be fantastic if there was some type of coordination of the time slots of all the rinks in the area.
Is there any way that your office could take some type of initiative to simply ask for a bit better co-ordination of the outdoor rink times? Ironically, I believe that the city's issues regarding allocation of ice time (besides the lack of facilities which is another discussion) at the indoor rinks is probably related to a similar type of "scheduling apathy."

A beautiful clear, cold winter day, and a school holiday -- but at 11.15 a.m. the Dieppe Rink changeroom is locked. There's no sign to say when it opens. The side gate to the rink is open. Three young shinny hockey players changing on a bench outside say they don't know when the clubhouse opens -- they say this is their first time at this rink. Three pleasure-skaters (father and two kids) are just leaving; otherwise the ice is empty. Read More >>
