Most roller rinks have concrete floors with epoxy coating. This one has a maple floor.
“People have been waiting since 1982 to skate in their own city,” Mampihaona said. “People have been renting gyms. Some people go to the United States, or to Toronto. They’re seeing it on social media. Also, it’s retro. We just wanted to revive something we had before.”
“That’s what the culture is all about. We want to bring the culture back here because we used to have it before.” “I knew that it would bring back a lot of the old school, and new people as well. When I travel, I bright my skates along. I go to Florida quite a bit. They have some phenomenal roller skating rinks. But this is the only one in Canada with a wooden floor.”
“I don’t think it was well-promoted back then. It was like all the fads. To promote it, you have to keep people dancing. If you know how to dance in a club, put on some skates and try it here,” he said.Maya Mousa and Aiya Youssef, both 16, were at the rink to celebrate Youssef’s birthday.
