Must grow with the times
The City of Camrose is indebted to Jim Dobbs for his determination towards artificial ice in the curling rink. Camrose now has a modern curling establishment with facilities that rival many city rinks. Visiting curlers winter here for bonspiels, and ice is rented nearly continuously. The skating arena is at the mercy of the weather, wrecking events when warm. The town could install an ice making system and avoid becoming a second rate sports centre. Prodding the council, the piece urges action before next fall.
