Unrefrigerated outdoor ice rinks

The town maintains several outdoor neighbourhood skating rinks at town parks for your winter enjoyment. These are unsupervised, use at your own risk, recreational rinks. CSA approved hockey helmets are strongly recommended.

Snow clearing

After a snow event, ice rink snow clearing will commence within 24 hours of the end of the snow fall.

Mild weather

To protect the ice surfaces of our rinks, please do not use the ice on days where the temperature is mild. When the temperature rises above freezing, the ice can get quite soft and can be damaged by use.

Neighbourhood rinks

If your neighbourhood wants to establish a rink other than those listed, it is the residents’ responsibility to maintain the rink.
