Another fantastic Manitoba winter is very slowly letting go of its grip. We have had snow, snow, and more snow. We want to thank all those amazing individuals and businesses that helped make this a fun skating season on the Icelandic River Skating Trail. While the heavy snow pack and natural springs in the river ruined the long skating trail, it was still a great skating season. Even the Zamboni dropping through the ice, didn’t stop us! It takes a village…

A huge thank you to:

Arborg Home Hardware – warm-up shed

Corey Bardarson – mechanical repair

Interlake Co-op – fuel card

Ron Johnston – snow clearing

Shachtay Sales & Service (Mike) – skid steer

Silverline Towing (Darrell Johnson) – hauling Zamboni

Town of Arborg – solar light

Ventrix Heating & Ventilation (Todd) – snow clearing

Victor Cantor  – mechanical repair

Weik Construction (Bryson Weik) – rescuing Zamboni from river!

Thank you once again to Diemo, Romafa, Swivel, and Vidir Solutions for the Zamboni.

Sorry if we missed someone. We estimate that the actual cost of maintaining the skating trail is  $10,000 - $15,000 annually and yet… this community does it with hardly a dime of tax money!

Thank you to each and everyone of you. You gave Arborg a unique and beautiful postcard look and quality. Enjoy your spring and summer everyone.

Town of Arborg Mayor & Council
