Efforts are underway to prepare the ice rink at Palette Park. While we are at the mercy of the weather, our volunteers have managed to lay down and clamp our liner in preparation for flooding. You'll notice the rink is a bit smaller this year making it more manageable to maintain.
Please obey the signs posted as they will indicate when it is safe to use the rink. At this point, the rink is not ready so please stay off the surface for your safety and to protect the liner. This includes your little ones and pets. We will keep you posted on our website and our social media channels.
Thanks for your cooperation and we look forward to a wonderful skating season.
Please let fellow neighbours know to stay off the ice rink while it's prepared. If you see anyone traversing the ice rink while it's still being prepared, consider letting them know that it's not safe and damage will only delay its readiness.

The westbound on-ramp to the QEW at Mississauga Road has finally re-opened after closing in the summer of 2021 as part of the QEW/Credit River Improvements project. This opening was a welcome update considering the recent closure of South Sheridan Way which had been the best alternate route the past two years. Over the last several weeks many Lorne Park Residents were forced to weave through side streets creating increased traffic volume along school zones. North Sheridan Way also saw increased traffic for westbound traffic.

We've received a message from a Watercolour resident alerting us of an issue with Bowood tree moths that has decimated his boxwoods.
It is a caterpillar that only eats boxwood tree leaves for food that ultimately consumes the tree. To find them, his suggestion was to look for the worms or the small spider-like webs. Also, look for bees around your boxwoods. They feed on the worms.
