The Downtown Skating Plaza at 5110 – 48 Avenue in Ponoka, next to the old library, is set to open on Dec. 31 for New Year’s Eve.

Town officials note that throughout the winter months, citizens will be able to enjoy the outdoors by skating on the oval rink that surrounds the Town’s Christmas tree.

The Downtown Skating Plaza is on a first-come, first-served basis. When using the Downtown Skating Plaza, you’re asked to please limit your time (up to an hour) to allow others a chance to enjoy the ice.

Citizens are encouraged to continue following COVID-19 provincial health regulations at all outdoor rinks including:

• Physical distancing from other households; and
• Staying home if you are feeling unwell.
