Rink Location and Conditions

Please note that the condition and status of the ice surfaces may vary depending on weather conditions and changes in temperature.

To facilitate entry and exit of outdoor skating rinks, parks such as Northview and Alexandre-Bourgeau may have icy paths leading from the chalet to the rink. With these surfaces being very slippery, we ask you to be very cautious when using them. Thank you for your cooperation.
