Skating into March Break with the Border City Brawlers


With March break here, many people will be looking for things to do in and around the city and county. The Border City Brawlers is Windsor’s up and coming women’s Roller Derby organization and will be holding a free family skating event at the Windsor Armouries on Friday March 18th. Benefiting the Hiatus House of Windsor the event will feature an afternoon session from 1PM to 3PM and evening skate from 6PM to 8PM.
Hiatus House is an emergency shelter for abused women and their children from Windsor and Essex County and offers a residence program, counselling and crisis intervention services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The group is asking the public to bring non-perishable food items for donation to Hiatus House to be collected at the event. Free hot chocolate, coffee and snacks will be served and a limited number of adult sized skates will be available for rental. Inline skates are welcome but skaters are strongly encouraged to wear a helmet.
So this March Break don’t hibernate! Come and skate with some of the girls from the Border City Brawlers and support the Hiatus House at this family friendly event.
I’ll have more on the Brawlers, their upcoming recruitment day and the exciting sport of Roller Derby in an upcoming blog post so check back soon. In the meantime, get your wheels on and skate!
