The Alberni Valley might look like a winter wonderland outside right now, but the Alberni Valley Multiplex is being transformed into a different kind of Winter Wonderland.
From Dec. 1 to Dec. 26, various local businesses and organizations have sponsored free skating sessions at the Coulson Rink for West Coast Winter Wonderland. Ice skaters can enjoy free admission and skate rentals.
The first session is Thursday, Dec. 1 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and is sponsored by the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.
Each year, the Coulson Rink is transformed in December with festive lights, Christmas trees and other holiday decorations. This year’s Winter Wonderland will also include the addition of some new metal decorations that were designed by Alberni District Secondary School metalwork students last year.

The 8.25-metre (27-foot tall) feature tree and others in the display came from Mossy Stumps Tree Farm near the Alberni Valley Regional Airport.
