  • We can teach you! Don't worry if you can't skate or have never gone skating before.
  • Bring an extra pair of socks to keep your feet warm and/or in case the skates are too big.
  • Wear layers so you can cool down if you become hot, or stay warm if the wind is strong.
  • Wear gloves (ice can cut your skin if you fall) and a hat (toque) or earmuffs.
  • The rink has a restaurant, skate-accessible washrooms, lockers, and public change room.
  • Locker use is "at your own risk", so be conscious of what you put in it.

Anyone meeting us at the rink can take the Queens Quay/Harbourfront streetcars (509 or 510) from Union station and get off at the third stop (Lower Simcoe St.)  Let us know though so we don't wait up. I'll send my phone # to all those RSVPed 'Yes' before the event in case you need to contact me.

*ID: "A driver's licence, passport, birth certificate or citizenship card is required to rent skates and/or helmets. Student cards, credit cards, TTC passes and health cards are not accepted for rentals."
