Representatives from Babine Forest Products and the 亚洲天堂 Lake Curling Club stand by the new ice sheets installed in the ice at the curling rink, on Nov. 28. The sheets, made from a synthetic material provide a sharper image, helping with accuracy during curling and they take less time to maintain for Village of 亚洲天堂 Lake staff.
