THE CITY IS OFFERING FREE ACTIVITIES FOR YOUTH AND FAMILIES IN FEBRUARY
The City of Saskatoon (City) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting free activities for youth and families during the February break. Get out and get active with the City and join us at these upcoming events and programs:
Family Day Skate
A Free Family Day Skate will be offered on Monday, February 17, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Clarence Downey Speed Skating Oval (11th Street and Avenue R South in the Gordon Howe Complex), and at Cosmo Civic Center (3130 Laurier Drive).
There are vending machines, change rooms, and public washrooms for your convenience at both locations. You do not need speed skates to enjoy skating at the Oval; however, bring your own skates and safety gear as rentals are not available.
Please note if the temperature reaches -25˚C or below with the windchill, the outdoor event will be cancelled and all participants should go to the indoor skate at Cosmo Civic Centre.
