Ice Skating
As we prepare for the 2026/2027 skating season, we are inviting local businesses and organizations to partner with us by sponsoring our public skating program.
Your sponsorship helps offset program costs, keeps skating affordable and accessible for families, and supports a valued community program that brings residents together throughout the winter.
We would be pleased to partner with you again this season. As a public skate sponsor, your organization will receive:
- Recognition on arena signage during your sponsored skate(s).
- Recognition on skating schedules distributed throughout the season.
- Recognition on the Municipality's website and social media channels, including a link to your website or social media pages (where applicable).
- The opportunity to demonstrate your support for a well-loved community recreation program.
Public Skate Sponsorship
Public skates are typically offered weekly for 1.5 hours, with additional dates and times added throughout the season as scheduling permits.
If you would like to sponsor one or more public skates, please let us know your preferred location(s) and date(s). Sponsorship requests will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis. Once your dates have been confirmed, an invoice will be issued.
Sponsorship Fee: $94.50 per sponsored skate
