Over the past two years, the Health Initiative’s Creating Healthy Places St. Lawrence County Project, a grant funded by the New York State Department of Health, has awarded rental ice skates to eleven ice rinks and arenas across the county. Those locations are: Potsdam’s Pine Street Arena, Canton’s Pavilion, Norfolk’s Dominic Zappia Community Center, Brasher’s Tri-Town Arena, Waddington’s Donald Martin Civic Center, and Ogdensburg’s Lockwood Arena; and seasonal outdoor ice rinks in South Colton, Heuvelton, Madrid, Gouverneur, and Parishville.
