It’s early days, but the Town of Renfrew and the second ice pad committee are in talks with the Ottawa Senators Foundation about a possible second rink at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre. Renfrew Mayor Don Eady explained the committee, which has saved some money up over the years, has had meetings with the Sens Foundation and research is being done into the feasibility of a second pad. At a special meeting of council Dec. 17, Eady stressed nothing has been cast in stone but he wanted to let council know the discussions were taking place. Eady noted the foundation recently completed a project in Smiths Falls and is working on a number of facilities in Gatineau. “We’re fortunate, at least, to be talking to them if nothing else,” said Eady. “We need to do our homework and put the possibility on the table.” Reeve Peter Emon noted a focus of the potential project was making sure the ice was accessible to all of the community, at a “minimum price point towards free.” Mayor Eady said the potential four-season facility would certainly increase access to hockey for Renfrew and area youth.
