FOLLOWUP: BEER STORE ROBBERY AND POLICE SHOOTING
On Saturday evening there was a robbery at The Beer Store on Symington

hit by a train. Thankfully nobody was seriously injured, and both
suspects were apprehended.

of government, police, and local residents to address this incident
and crime issues in general. We will keep you posted with details as
they come in.
SKATING AT CAMPBELL PARK
Skating season is in full-swing at Campbell Park. Most of the ice
time is dedicated to hockey/shinny use, but there are three hours of
weekly pleasure skating available too (Saturdays from 11am until noon,
and 4pm-6pm).
One of the highlights of the Saturday afternoon pleasure skate is the
campfire with free hot chocolate and freshly cooked donuts! What a
great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday.
More information about Campbell Park's rink schedule is available on
the City Rinks website:
