Mayor’s Message
Fall 2016 was a great time in the Town of Paradise! From the exciting HABS Alumni
Hockey Game to our popular Christmas events and everything in between, this season
was about celebrating our community. It’s now time to turn to 2017 and make sure that
the winter ahead is just as active, memorable and community-focused.
We have an exceptional winter season planned with outstanding recreational activities
and community events for all ages. With a full week of fun for Snow and Ice in Paradise
through to our annual Municipal Awards, there’s lots planned that will have you excited
to be in the Town of Paradise this winter. Plus, we’ve added even more recreational
activities to our programming for everyone to enjoy. The activities and events outlined
in this guide will help you feel active, energized, and involved in your community!
If you’re trying to get back in the swing of your fitness program after the holidays or
just want to have some fun in the snow and ice, I encourage you to take advantage of
the great opportunities that Paradise has to offer this season.
Enjoy a fun and active winter in the Town of Paradise!

Welcome to the 2017 Town of Paradise Winter Recreation Guide. As Chairperson

In February we will kick off our ever-popular Snow and Ice in Paradise event. March will
set the stage for more great events such as the St. Patrick Day Bowl and the Brunch with
the Easter Bunny- two Town favorites which are always enjoyed by young and old alike.
April will bring the 2017 Municipal Awards. This year at the awards businesses will also
be honored for the dynamic and invaluable support that they provide to the Town.
There truly is something for everyone this winter in Paradise.
To all our committee members, staff, volunteers, and sponsors, I extend sincere thanks for
