After a devastating fire burnt the community’s rink to the ground in 2009, Islanders rallied together to raise funds for the new rink. With the help of all levels of government, the new Evangeline Recreation Centre opened in 2011. Located in the vibrant Acadian community of Abrams Village, the new facility includes an NHL sized ice surface and fitness centre.
