The Minto Skating Club may be looking for a new home after a conditional offer has been made on the rink it's been operating on for 34 years. The 117-year-old club has operated out of the Minto Skating Centre on Lancaster Road in Ottawa since 1987, offering everything from learn-to-skate programs to synchronized skating. "It was actually a terrific facility from the perspective of what it gave us," said Erich Forler, the club's president. That included both a North American and Olympic-sized rink, along with a smaller skating pad. "Through this time, we will work actively with the Minto Skating Club and all other arena users in efforts to help ensure their long-term viability."
