Itinerary:

Looking for a fun way to kick off the winter season? Join me for an afternoon of outdoor skating at Harbourfront Centre on Saturday, November 28th at 5pm!

Whether you're a seasoned skater or have never stepped onto the ice before, this event is for you. Come glide (and, let's be honest, sometimes stumble) across Toronto's beautiful waterfront rink, meet new people, enjoy the fresh air, and have some winter fun together.

Why You Should Come

  • No skating experience required
  • First-time skaters are encouraged to join
  • A great opportunity to meet people in a relaxed setting
  • Free skate rentals available on Saturdays (first come, first served)
  • Skate aids are available for beginners
  • Beautiful waterfront views and a festive winter atmosphere

Don't Have Skates?

No problem! You can bring your own skates (BYOS) or use the free skate rentals available on- site. Helmets and beginner skate aids are also available through the Skate Change and Rental Room.

Need Equipment?

If you're looking for affordable second-hand skates or a helmet, Play It Again Sports is often a great place to check.
