Town will help Milton residents build neighbourhood ice rinks

Last year’s outdoor neighbourhood ice rink program was so successful, the Town of Milton is bringing it back again.

The program is a collaborative project between local residents and the Town.

Groups of six or more adults can build and operate a neighbourhood rink in a pre-approved location, meeting the criteria and agreed-upon responsibilities to maintain the rink throughout the winter season.

“A neighbourhood rink provides a community-building opportunity where a group of neighbours are committed to building and operating an outdoor ice rink at a community park for all residents to enjoy, free of charge,” said a Town spokesperson.

“Workplaces serving their community through volunteer initiatives should also consider applying to build and operate a rink this winter season.”

Online applications are open until Nov. 3.
