Best Winter Skating

New Years was a week ago and the kids still have a whole weekend before they head back to school.    If you're like me, you've been trying to find things for your kids to do this week.   One thing you might like to do is try out some of the local arena's and take yourself or your family for a little skate.
In Burlington, Tim Horton's has sponsored free skate days during the Christmas Break.   Admission during the Tim Horton's Holiday Recreational Skating is free, but has limited space and based on first come first served.    Normally, if you do not have a Burlington address, there is an extra $8 fee for non-Burlington Residents on top of normal fees.    This is a great chance to explore the Burlington arenas free of charge.   Skate times this weekend are:

Appleby Ice Centre Arena B:  

• Sat. Jan 7th from 630p-730p, 730p-830p, 830-930p                    
• Sun Jan. 8th from 12p-1p and 1p-2p

Nelson Arena:  Sun Jan 8th from 1p-2p and 2p-3p.

Locally right in and near Waterdown we are blessed with many arenas.     There is North Wentworth Arena in Waterdown, Carlisle Arena in Carlisle and Beverly Arena in Rockton.    Please visit the City of Hamilton website to learn more about what is offered at these arenas...
