After weeks of temperatures skating above 0°, the City has decided to close all municipal outdoor rinks and Hollinger Skate Path for the remainder of the winter season. Indoor public skating will now be offered free of charge. This includes Saturday skates at the McIntyre Arena and weekend skates at the Whitney Arena in Porcupine.
“Temperatures are not cooperating with outdoor rink maintenance,” said Lynne Grenon, Manager of Facilities and Recreation. “Ice conditions have deteriorated and it’s not staying cold long enough for a solid ice base to freeze. Instead, we’re making all of the season’s remaining indoor public skates free, waiving the $5 admission fee.
Skating is a fun winter pastime and indoor skating offers you the assurance that the ice surface is safe and solid. For available public skating times and arena locations, visit: Timmins.ca/our_services/recreation_services/skating.
