Parking in the community league lot will be closed. The parking lot will be utilized by volunteers, the food truck, plus horses and sleighs. Parking on the street or walking to the park will be the best option.

Outdoor Ice Rinks are Now Open!

Thanks to the colder weather, the main outdoor rink is now open! After snowfalls and heavy skating turnouts, the ice will have to be cleared and flooded, but is otherwise ready for skating. Please observe the regular skating vs. ”sticks & pucks” time slots on the rink schedule.

We thank our ice rink volunteers for their diligent work in getting the outdoor ice rinks ready for skating season! We hope that more volunteers will step forward to help with Winter 2022-23, both with ice clearing and flooding, and monitoring the warmup room. Want to help with clearing and flooding? Contact the volunteer coordinator. Another training session for rink volunteers may be planned for newer volunteers that sign up. More details will be available by email to volunteers.

Skate tags – Please buy a Ridge CL membership to help offset the cost of maintaining the rink.  Skate tags are available with your membership. Lace them into your skate laces to show that you are a community league member.
Not yet Ridge CL member? Please contact our membership director (membership@theridgeonline.ca) or visit the TRAC office at the Rec Centre to purchase your 2022-23 membership.
