Gatineau, November 4, 2015. – Gatineau and the Ottawa Senators Foundation announce the construction of the second Senators Skating Rink in Gatineau, this one in parc Fontaine.

A key partner, Brookfield Renewable, is also involved in the project.


Quick facts

The Senators Foundation is covering the costs related to rink's design and construction.
