See MoreBring the family over to the lake tonight for our Christmas Skate at the Lake 6pm - 8pm. The Top Rink and Lake Rinks will be open (lake rinks open this afternoon). There will be hot chocolate and treats, a little Christmas craft, and a visit from our own neighbourhood Santa. Come enjoy the lights and some holiday time with your neighbours.
Chris shot this while they were out on the lake measuring thickness for the path. So neat looking.
Good morning Lake Bonavista!
We have some good news. The Falls Rink and the two Hockey Rinks (the Inn Rink and the Bonus Rink) will be open tomorrow afternoon (Friday Dec 21) for skating. We are going to do one more day of flooding to get the ice in better condition. The ice is still too thin for our zamboni. So tomorrow afternoon we should be open. Please note, it’s rough in spots.
The skating path around the lake will hopefully be plowed in the next few days.
...The Top Rink is open and the ice looks great.
Check the website for updates.
