It requires a sturdy wood frame, continual flooding by parks personnel and, most important, a minimum of three straight Sm frigid nights. "Keep up the praying and everything will be s skatable," Kay said. He realizes that aren‘t many more popular, simple, pasâ€" times than lacing on a pair skates and taking a spin on an outdoor ice surface. It‘s something Oakville residents continue to enjoyâ€"â€"espeâ€" cially on natural surfaces such as Bronte Marsh, Coronation Park or 16â€"Mile Creek.

Last year, there were only nine days in which these areas received the go ahead. Bronte Marsh and Coronation are in use this week but Kay says skaters should use extreme caution. "While it has a good thickness, it‘s white ice, which means it can be very unstable," he said. Fortunately, there‘s still indoor variety to rely upon and it remains one of the most popular programs the town has, says arenas manager Don Heath. "Some arenas are filled to capacity," notably on Sunday afternoons, he said. Pick up a Parks and Recreation brochure for complete details. The town also offers four programs for skaters.
