Orangeville Council unanimously voted to reduce ice rental fees for local minor hockey groups and Skate Canada last week, so they can complete their seasons now that Dufferin is in the red control zone for COVID-19 restrictions.
Dufferin moved out of total lockdown on Feb. 16, allowing sports groups to have 10 players on the ice at a time, without contact.
While the move permits ice time for youth, Orangeville Tigers Girls Hockey, Orangeville Minor Hockey, and Skate Canada couldn’t afford to pay the regular $186 per hour ice rental fee and continue their seasons, without a cost reduction.
