Snowshoes and a new outdoor rink

Published on Tuesday, 13 January 2026 06:00

Pickleball and Badminton at the GPB Hall in Russell is cancelled for at least the month of January as we make some much needed improvements to the floor! We are very excited! Keep an eye out for how you can help! Pickleball will still be available on Monday evenings in Binscarth at the school from 7-9pm!
Indoor Walking at the GPB Hall will still be available! Indoor Walking is FREE at the GPB Hall in Russell (106 Shell River Ave. S). Come in out of the cold weather and icy streets!
The outdoor rink is ready to go! The outdoor rink is located on North Main St between the Leisure Center and Never Better Studios. This is a community outdoor rink, available for all to use. Please keep in mind, you may have to shovel off some snow and share the space with community members!
HUGE thank you to the Municipality of Russell Binscarth, Never Better Studio, the Russell Lions, Russell Beef and Barley, Braendle Bruce Memorials, Parkland Thrashers Roller Derby, our local RCMP, Fresh Vac, Jeramy Ewbank & Kris Huberdeau, as well as our many volunteers helping make this happen! This is only the beginning!
Adults & Tots has resumed upstairs in the Binge Room at the Russell Memorial Multiplex! Enter the Multiplex through the Main St. entrance and go up the stairs! This is a FREE open gym time for adults and their kids age 7 and under. The gym will be open on Wednesdays from 1-3pm and Thursdays from 9:30-11:30am. (These days and times are subject to change.)
