At NorthStar Industries, we believe that community and innovation go hand-in-hand. We are thrilled to announce that on Monday, December 22, 2026, the Diane Hamre Outdoor Skating Rink in Newcastle, Ontario, will be hosting its Grand Opening and Tree Lighting Ceremony from 4 PM to 7 PM. This highly anticipated event marks the beginning of a winter wonderland that locals can enjoy throughout the Canadian winter season.
The excitement surrounding the rink is palpable, and we are equally excited to share that NorthStar Industries is proud to have contributed to this fantastic new facility. Our Reinforced Stainless Steel Edge Rail Trench Drain Channels and Stainless Steel Perforated Grating were chosen for this project, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and high performance.
Why were our products selected? Simple. Our reinforced stainless steel is not only designed to endure the harsh Canadian winters, but it also offers exceptional rust prevention and high load capacity. This feature is particularly important for ice maintenance equipment, ensuring that the rink remains operational and safe for enjoyment year after year.
What makes this project even more special is our commitment to local partnerships. NorthStar Industries warehouses all its products locally, allowing us to support and effectively supply the needs of this project. This close proximity ensures timely delivery and helps to stimulate the local economy, which is a core value that drives our operations.
As the Diane Hamre Outdoor Skating Rink opens its doors, we invite everyone in the Newcastle community and beyond to come out and celebrate the magic of the season. Join us for an evening filled with joy, ice skating, and the sparkling lights of the tree lighting ceremony!
Mark your calendars and come witness not only the new rink but also the dedication of a community coming together to celebrate winter. We can’t wait to see you there, and remember—at NorthStar Industries, we’re always here to support your local projects and enhance the quality of your environment.
