Rink
The municipality of l’Île-du-Grand-Calumet explained why there is no outdoor skating rink this year.

This year, the grant was not renewed and the municipality mentions that due to the low traffic last year and the lack of volunteers, the decision was made, in collaboration with the recreation committee, that the staking rink would not open in 2019-2020. Residents can contact the Chair of the Recreation Committee, Lisa Gervais, for more details.
