WINNIPEG — This weekend is your last chance to strap on your skates and hit the ice at some of Winnipeg’s most popular locations.
The Red River Mutual Trail will be closing for the season Sunday night. After Sunday the trail will no longer be maintained and will become unsafe with warmer weather on the way.
“We’re inviting everyone to come out and enjoy one last skate on the Red River Mutual Trail this weekend,” Paul Jordan, Chief Executive Officer at The Forks said.
The trail was open for 46 days kicking off on Jan. 21. Records were set on Louis Riel Day weekend with 18, 000 people strapping on their skates.

Saturday is the last day skating will be allowed on the Riley Duck Pond at the Assiniboine Park as well. With warmer temperatures on the way for the following week, staff at the park believe the ice will be too unsafe for skating.
The pond opened on Dec. 31.
