Skating is open on the Trent-Severn Waterway canal, south of the Peterborough Lift Lock, the city announced Friday.
The city says ice conditions on the canal are monitored regularly and posted with a green flag when conditions are safe for skating. A red flag indicates conditions are unsafe.
“Residents are reminded to always follow the flag indicator and all COVID-19 public health guidelines,” the city stated.
Status updates on the canal will be posted on the city’s website and its social media channels @CityPtbo on Facebook and Twitter.
For the winter season, the city will host 23 outdoor skating rinks, supported by a group of more than 50 volunteers who prepare, flood and maintain the ice. The neighbourhood rink program — which has been run in city parks since 1965 — will this year have rinks open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, depending on weather and ice conditions and subject to public health measures.
Outdoor rinks are for casual, recreational use and used at one’s own risk. No organized play or events are permitted. All children/dependents must be accompanied by a competent adult/guardian.
