On-land skating trails open at The Forks

The Forks skating trails, a tradition for many Winnipeggers, have officially opened for the season.

Thanks to the recent cold temperatures, the one-kilometre on-land skating trail has opened, along with the canopy rink.

The Forks says the rink at the CN stage will open in the coming days.

The iconic Winnipeg River Trail is still yet to open after fall flooding made skating conditions uncertain.

The river trail was also closed one other time in 2000 when the on-land skating trails were introduced, The Forks told Global News.
