Important Update on Opening of the City’s Outdoor Skating Rinks

Due to the weather event yesterday, the city’s outdoor skating rinks will require clearing and flooding today to restore ice surfaces and be able to open, with a focus placed on Parks Supervised locations and the Vickers Park skating loop. Rinks that are opening will be identified on the Outdoor Rink Map on the City’s website and should be ready for use by 6:00 pm.

We will continue to update the status for each site in real time as they become ready to open, or if they must be closed due to weather conditions throughout the season.
