The Oliver Arena is a hub of activity in the winter months. Recreational hockey leagues for men, women and children offer great entertainment. The Oliver Parks and Recreation Department even offers drop-in casual rec. There are also drop-in exercise programs, as well as line dancing, square dancing and badminton. You can curl, play hockey, try a little figure skating, catch a fish, go snowmobiling or just go for a walk.
Skaters have many opportunities.
Figure skating is open to kids beginning at three years of age and moving through various levels. The figure skating club also provides power skate sessions for young hockey players to improve speed and endurance. Minor hockey players can begin zipping around the ice at four years of age. The local programs continue for kids up to age 17. Minor hockey begins in September and ends in March.
