"My kids went down to the Arena and I used to go 
down to the Arena. 

I always remember how wonderful it was that we had an ice rink here in the area.

We use to go every week because we just lived down the street, it was great having it so close!"

"What I’ve done at the Kerrisdale Arena was watch my grandson,

Spencer Becker, play hockey, and that was for at least 2 or 3 years.

So I enjoyed the experience of watching,

that was a very positive experience for him… and for me!"

"I went there to skate and I am not a skater, never did skate

but I’ll tell you I fell more times than enough! 

But I did enjoy it… I met a lot of people there, very nice people to speak with. 

It has been  a wonderful experience for me in the arena."

"I am a heritage person and I am very concerned about changes in Kerrisdale.

I like the idea of having the arena, I think that it is important that children and families have an opportunity to skate or to do other things.

I’m very much in favour of either redeveloping in the sense of keeping the heritage, but not combining it with the community centre.

It’s really important to me that there is separate facilities around Kerrisdale to meet the growing needs of families and children, as well as seniors."

"My association with Kerrisdale Arena goes back 45 years! There used to be a wonderful adult skate on a Tuesday night and all the singles would come out - men would skate, women would skate and then we would get together and we would do 'crack the whip'- you can't do that anymore!"

"I went to BCIT in the 1970's and BCIT, CBC, CKVU and BCTV...we all had hockey teams, so we had these games at Kerrisdale Arena...and BCIT beat them all! So I associate Kerrisdale Arena with TRIUMPH! Now I come here 5 days a week and skate 40-50 minutes, I need to do something for exercise and my knees can't take jogging, but I can skate! There are lots of fun people who come out and I have great conversations - I am loving Kerrisdale Arena!"
