The Delaware Lions have once again established an outdoor ice rink near the washrooms in Municipal Park. Please check the signs at the rink for skating availability or check on social media. On March 7th, 2026, the Lions and Lionesses will be hosting a Jukebox Bazinga Bingo Night, which replaces their annual Trivia Night. This event will be similar in format to Trivia Night, but with a new game. Tickets are $30 each or $240 for a team of eight. For more information, contact Lion Mike Rombouts at mrombouts1010@rogers.com or 519-280-2712. Other local municipal projects slated for completion in 2026: Delaware Community Centre – Kitchen Refresh: new counters, cupboards, flooring, lighting, painting, dishwasher, and range replacement. Bar Refresh – new counters, cupboards, flooring, lighting; Sound System Update – new speakers and additional microphone inputs – update to Bluetooth technology; Replace Flagpole; Main Hall - wall painting continuation. Delaware Library – accessible washroom and accessible entry into the Library; parking lot will have three asphalt-paved accessible parking spots near the entrance, with the entire remainder of the upper parking lot being paved with a tar and chip surface with curbing around the perimeter. That is it for this issue. Cheers,
