The second RBC Skate Day was held in the Shawville Arena last sunday. The first event was held 2019, and though planned
to be annual, it was put on hold for three years due to a COVID-19 hiatus.
“It’s just to give back to our community. To do something fun for the kids in the community and the kids at heart,” said Meagan Derouin, branch manager at the RBC Royal Bank in Shawville and one of the organizers of the skate day.
Early on in the event Derouin estimated that about 60 people were out on the ice.
The event also included free hot chocolate, treats, a give aways of RBC merch and a visit from Leo the Lion.
