Rink Status: OPEN (with limited access)
Hours
Lights off at 9pm
(but volunteers may be there earlier to clear snow and flood, feel free to lend a hand!)
Ice surfaces open when temperature is between -23*C and 0*C
First, the good news! The Lewis Estates Community League have been planning facility operations during COVID-19 for some time. We have changed the footprint of the ice, added additional, safely distanced seating for households outside, and are working at adding multiple ice surfaces to maximize the availability of the facility. We have many volunteers working to ensure the community has a safe, outdoor recreational facility to be used by the community throughout the winter. We continue observe all measures put in place in the interest of public health, and expect our community league members to do the same. Having said that, please familiarize yourself with the rules below and be a good community steward!

What Happens if We Don't Follow the Rules
Well thanks for asking! We expect the members of our community to play their part in creating a safe, fun facility to be enjoyed by others. We respectfully ask you observe and even help us enforce the rules. We do have a team of volunteers that will be checking in often. If of our volunteers encounter a potentially unsafe situation, we will be forced to close the rink for the remainder of the day. Repeat occurrences may result in facility closure for the season.
Facility Group Bookings
Given the capacity restrictions the expected increase in demand over the coming weeks, we are not taking any bookings at this time. In the event the restrictions change, we will revisit this policy. Thank you for your interest.
But What About.... ?
If you are unsure of any of our rules and would like some clarification, first ask yourself if you are simply looking for an explanation that provides a loop hole. It is in all of our best interest to follow the rules before us, to preserve the access we have.
