Ural Plant of Deicing Materials, a manufacturer of Bionord eco-friendly deicing products, has become a partner of the Ministry of Physical Education and Sports of Perm Krai and has taken part in creating modern infrastructure for the free BIONORD skating rink. The motto of the collaboration is “Ice is for Skaters.”
The skating rink opens for the third year in a row; however, this year, UZPM support made it possible to create a cosy veranda café and New Year’s photo booths. The new space allows the visitors to enjoy their time in a festive atmosphere of the city.
The BIONORD skating rink with the area of over 2 hectares is located on the square in front of the Perm Academic Theatre-Theatre; the opening is scheduled for December 30.
“New Year is the time when miracles happen and wishes come true. The opening of the modern BIONORD skating rink became possible owing to our partnership with the Ministry of Physical Education and Sports of Perm Krai. This is our joint gift to the citizens of Perm. The skating rink is special because of its accessibility: skating is absolutely free. I am sure that the BIONORD skating rink will become a point of attraction for citizens and guests of the city, brining joy and festive mood on these winter days,” Dmitriy Pylev, UZPM General Director, noted.
“The skating rink is a true centre of attraction for children, adults, and young people; therefore, it is very important for us that this tradition of sending free time together in an active way continues. We have taken into account the wishes expressed by the visitors in previous years and focused on the quality of ice and the recreation area,” Tatyana Chesnokova, the Minister of Physical Education and Sports of Perm Krai, explained.
The BIONORD skating rink operates as a part of the Winter Sports Festival; an eventful program has been prepared for the guests: exciting master classes and sports events.
There is a skate rental building in the rink area. Visits to the rink and participation in various activities is possible with prior registration, which will become active on the Smart Sports website, once the rink opens.
Sports’ support plays an important role in the charitable and social activities of Ural Plant of Deicing Materials. For many years, the company has actively supported sports development in the Kama-River region and has received a letter of acknowledgment from the Ministry of Sports of Perm Krai.
