Just off the main trail of the Morris Island Conservation Area near Fitzroy Harbour sits a small frozen inlet that David Lofstrom and his wife have turned into a skating area.
Lofstrom started the project last year for his family, but as more eyes found the rink, Lofstrom, who is an engineer, built a bench, sign, and installed lights to make the area more accessible to the public.
"As soon as we put up the sign at the entrance then people started understanding what it was," says Lofstrom. "We’d have people coming while we were clearing it every day, every 20 minutes, saying can we use it? Is this private? And we’d say no of course not, come on out."
On Monday, the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority went in and dismantled Lofstrom’s set up, taking down his sign, lights, and bench.
