Neighbourhood rinks

Our winter rink volunteers and city staff are working hard to prepare and set up outdoor rinks in neighbourhoods across the city. Subscribe to this page to be notified when they are officially open for the season.

New Rinks

As part of our efforts to expand the coverage of the winter rinks program throughout the city, four new rinks are being installed this fall and we’re recruiting rink coordinator and volunteer teams for each. Planning and Construction is actively ongoing, and some rinks may not be fully ready by the beginning of this winter’s rink season.

If you are interested in getting involved or want more information, feel free to email us.


Volunteer to help

Our outdoor winter rinks are completely dependent on weather and volunteer support. Without generous help from our community volunteers, our rinks wouldn't be possible.

We are currently recruiting winter rink volunteers and coordinators (ages 18+) to help prepare, flood, and maintain our outdoor rinks from December through March (weather depending).

* Winter rink coordinator positions available are limited, dependent upon volunteer turnover and new rink progress.
