Plus anytime someone spits in the eye of the 'you have to be young/small to do quads' trope, it makes me really happy. It looks like a converted curling rink to me...curling clubs often have that homey feel and no boards. Expand It's interesting that to you, a Canadian, it looks like a converted curling rink, and to me, an Australian who grew up in the 'hot' part by the sea and rivers, it looks like a boatshed (the wooden type for old rowing clubs) that got quadrupled in size and resurfaced with a rink.

Expand I tried looking for photos of the interior but didn't have luck. Just lots of random, converted boatsheds that are now restaurants and bars lol. It was the TCC ceiling that gave it the boatshed vibes - triangular ceiling, wooden beams, big ceiling fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sallycinnamon Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The Cricket Club is probably the nicest ice rink that I've seen before, mainly because of the wood and its colours, it has a 'warm' atmosphere to it. While most ice rinks look more plain or have a more 'cold' atmosphere. I also like the big windows and the restaurant behind them, it just looks so fancy.

Expand Well, it's a simply enormous space and the roof is supported by huge beams and trusses in a very unique design. Like most of the older buildings in Lunenburg, it was built by the boat makers themselves so it strongly resembles the inside of a boat hull, but turned upside down. It's too bad there aren't many pictures of the interior because the interior structure is actually one of the things that make it a historically desirable building @memae Try this: https://www.saltwire.com/news/local/lunenburgs-big-boat-shed-receives-15m-in-federal-provincial-funding-307089/?location=nova-scotia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
