THUNDER BAY — A survey answered by nearly 5,000 Thunder Bay residents shows strong opposition to a proposal to shutter the majority of city’s outdoor ice rinks.

The proposal would close 31 of the 39 outdoor rinks maintained by the city, or just shy of 80 per cent, saving an estimated $365,000 per year. The city received an impressive 4,763 responses to the survey, which was open to the public through its Get Involved system between Aug. 18 and 27. Of the respondents opposing the closures, more than half provided written comments, with around 30 per cent of those comments suggesting a compromise to close fewer rinks, the city reported.
