Monday is the last day for members of the public to skate on the ice that hosted speedskating events at the Vancouver Olympics.
The Richmond Olympic Oval is being converted into a multisport facility that includes basketball, volleyball and badminton courts.
The $177 million center also will feature two running tracks, a fitness center, and two ice skating rinks.
The Oval hosted more than 100,000 spectators during the Vancouver Games.
