Sponsor a skate!
We welcome sponsorship of public skates from individuals, businesses and organizations. Public skating is offered to the public at a cost of $2 per person or $5 per family, but your generous sponsorship would allow these skating sessions to be offered to the public free of charge. Sponsoring a public skate not only provides your business/organization with advertising at the event and on municipal social media pages, but it also contributes to the wellbeing of our community.
If you would like to sponsor a public skating date, please email the Recreation Coordinator.
