Skating on the Duck Pond

Frigid temperatures have been welcomed by some – a group of hockey players have been skating outside on the Duck Pond at Sherbrooke and Duck Pond Roads. Though one side of the pond is not frozen, the boys feel that it is safe and are enjoying the ice and their pick-up game. Apparently the pond is quite shallow and while one end is frozen solid, the other remains thawed due to run-off that drains into the pond.  There is no sign prohibiting skating but police warn that skaters do so at their own risk.
