“This includes flooding, blading, and access to warm-up shelters. As always, outdoor rink maintenance is weather dependent. Warm weather may prevent flooding from continuing and require rinks to be closed. “

The city reminds residents that all rinks and warm-up shacks have capacity limits, aligning with provincial public health orders. It also says you should stay home if you feel sick.
