Far from where Winnipeg has carved one of the world's longest river skating trails sits another path on a frozen tributary. Susan Thurmeier and her daughter, Katy Abraham, skate on the Assiniboine River trail in St. James. A neighbour then built the ice rink, and before long the slide and rink were a chilly recreational hot spot. Lawn chairs and benches dot the nearly kilometre-long Assiniboine River skating trail, along with some Christmas trees for esthetics​ and wind-blocking. It was followed by an ice rink, like this one, and now a skating trail.
