RiverWorks‘ two outdoor ice rinks are covered by a metal pavilion with open sides to provide shelter while maintaining an outdoor feel. These ice rinks play host for hockey leagues and events, curling leagues and events and figure skating practice and events in the winter. In the summer the concrete slabs of the rinks are used for a variety of sporting and event program space including: roller hockey; roller derby; tennis; volleyball as well as concerts and events. Finally, RiverWorks built the first ever fully functioning brewery to be retrofit into the existing grain silo. The former GLF Grain Silo houses the RiverWorks‘ brewery, that uses direct tank-to-tap lines for the three interior bars as well as a fourth bar located in the silo itself, situated directly next to the RiverWorks Beer Garden, which will be constructed amongst the foundational remnants of another former grain silo.

“Be excellent to each other.”

Sending our condolences to our friends at Queen City Roller Derby and to the family and friends of General Hellativity. 🛼

It is with great sadness that we share the unexpected and sudden passing of our very dear friend, General Hellativity. He was a remarkable person who was more than a member of our Herd, he was a mentor, a teacher and a friend. Words cannot express the loss in his absence, not just in the Roller Derby Community, but the world at large. Our hearts go out to his family during this difficult time. In the words of this great human, “Be excellent to each other.”

Thank you Dave for everything you have done, shared and given to us all. 💔
