We seem to be having an early winter. As Mr Malcontent said to me today, “I’ve had to put on my coat des neiges.”
The city wants to find out whether people are still interested in outdoor skating rinks in parks. I haven’t seen anyone using them much in recent years, either for hockey or general recreation, although I noticed the classic boards being put up in a park last weekend. The Journal says the city is planning to put in more refrigerated rinks to offset the unpredictable thaws we’ve seen in recent years.
Although Beaver Lake was supposedly closed permanently to skating last season, Luc Ferrandez now says the city is considering reopening it, using something smaller and lighter than a Zamboni to polish the ice.

The stabbing death of the teenager found dead on Nuns’ Island has been ruled a homicide, although police don’t have a suspect or motive yet. Reports don’t depict a troubled teen in the classic sense.
Update: Two other teenagers have been arrested and will face charges in youth court. His family’s religious community is taking up a collection. The Moroccan consulate has offered to fly the boy’s body back to his birthplace for burial.
Another update: The Crown is already asking that the two suspects be sentenced as adults.
