Community Outdoor Rink Program
This program brings neighbours and community together to enjoy outdoor recreational skating and a healthy outdoors activity! If you like the idea of spending time together outdoors doing something you love, at no cost - look no further.

Volunteers have come forward to operate the outdoor rinks at the locations above. The Township approved these locations as each has an existing water source, flat areas that drain well, and are not right next to homes.

Background
We didn't operate any outdoor rinks during the 2022-2023 winter season. Unpredictable weather meant that we didn't have the long periods of cold needed to sustain stable ice.
The 2022-2023 winter season was not kind to outdoor ice rinks. The weather is becoming more irregular which creates challenges for outdoor skating. Outdoor ice rinks need a greater degree of maintenance to ensure safe ice.
Although past years have not been ideal for ice making, and we can't predict the future, we would like the Township to be prepared for outdoor rinks should we have the right conditions. Having a Community Outdoor Rink Program already in place will help with that.
