Save the Rink!

PETITION: Save the Rink!

853 signatures
Goal: 15,000 signatures

The City of Markham is threatening to tear down Martin Ross’s beloved backyard hockey rink and charge him up to $500,000 for the demolition. This iconic rink has brought joy to Martin’s kids and neighbourhood children, celebrating the heart of Canada’s national winter sport. Despite the city’s claims about "heritage property" rules, other homes in the area have undergone significant renovations without issue. We need to stop this unfair overreach. Sign this petition to tell Markham’s politicians to leave Martin’s rink alone and let Canadian traditions live on!

    WTF people, it’s all warm and charming for the Canadiana hockey card to be dealt. By-laws exist in every municipality across Canada. There is lots of noise from everyone that is not impacted by this. If by laws were not enforced and everyone had free reign to do what they wanted, how many backyard mechanics shops, auto body shops, grow ops, illegal and unsafe housing projects, to name a few would come into existence. Marty went way beyond the little backyard Canadiana rink. He put his head in the sand and said f it to following existing by laws. Great example for his kids to follow. Why doesn’t he sell and find a property to build his dream rink. Man up Marty.

    This is so sad! What kind of horrible people have an issue with families enjoying their own backyards? Martin I’m so sorry your neighbours absolutely suck!
