Snow is falling, plows are rolling, and street-parked cars are… in the way. 🚫🚗 Parking ban tomorrow, Jan 26, 10am–7pm. Let’s not make the plows work around your bumper.

Rink update ⛸️❄️ After the big melt + roller coaster temps + rounds of snow, our volunteers have the rinks OPEN again (thank you!). Ice may be a bit rough—skate with care. ✅ Nimiq Park ✅ Mountain Meadows ✅ Boothfield ✅ Spratt (puddle & boarded)

🚨 Snowplow party tonight and your car is not invited. City parking ban in effect Jan 15, 7pm–7am. Move it or risk the tow of shame ❄️🚗

Rink Update ⛸️🌡️ Our rink coordinator was out before 7am (still dark!) checking ice. Rising overnight temps mean the ice is already soft, so the following rinks are CLOSED until further notice 🚫⛸️ ❌ Nimiq Park ❌ Mountain Meadows ❌ Boothfield ❌ Spratt (puddle & boarded)

Tired of skating in circles on our community rinks? ⛸️😉 If you’re looking to switch things up a bit, the Rideau Canal Skateway is OPEN and ready for skaters! 🎉❄️ Enjoy the ice and skate safe wherever you glide!

Rink update ⛸️🚧 Boothfield rink is CLOSED until 1:00 PM today for an emergency flood 💦🧊 to make it skate-ready again. Please respect rink-closed signage and give the ice time to set. Thanks for your patience! ❄️
