Pickle Lake Arena

We have a large arena where numerous activities take place. In the winter you will find hockey games taking place for all ages, skating when no hockey sticks are allowed, and figure skating lessons. Our natural ice is maintained very well by the Public Works Department and we are able to host an occasional hockey tournament, which brings visitors from the reserves to the north of us to play with Mishkeegogamang and our Pickle Lake team too. Tournaments are a busy, exciting time in our community.

In the months where we do not have ice in the arena there may be broomball or volleyball tournaments. In the summer months there are activities held in the arena with our summer recreation program. It may also be the location of the Blackfly Bar-b-que in July.

Nonetheless, the arena is a wonderful place to meet your friends and neighbours!

Curling Rink

Our Curling Rink has two sheets of natural ice and has a busy schedule. There are regular scheduled games, then there are also numerous bonspiels throughout the winter season. Nearly every year there will be a special bonspiels for kids, family, men’s, ladies’ and mixed, which makes for a full weekend for those who are involved in this sport!

The Curling Club makes the ice and maintains it. There is also a canteen in the curling rink which services the arena as well and on tournament or bonspiels weekends this canteen is a busy place! Recently the Township made some major renovations in the curling rink and today you will find an attractive building with room to sit or stand to watch the good natured competition.

Next time you have a few minutes during the winter, head on down to the curling rink to see what is happening!

Bowling

In the Community Hall you will find two bowling lanes. League bowling generally runs from October to April and ends with Roll Offs. Open bowling can be arranged by calling our bowling attendant to set up a time. Please call 807-928-2034 when you would like to have a fun evening out or even a birthday party.

The lanes are for 5-pin bowling and there may only be two lanes but we are fortunate to have this luxury when many towns with a much larger population do not even have this privilege!
