THE CITY OF SASKATOON IS OFFERING FREE WINTER FUN ACTIVITIES FOR YOUTH AND FAMILIES IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH

Get out and be active with the City of Saskatoon, and join us at these upcoming winter events and programs:

Family Day Skate
Free Family Day Skate will take place Monday, February 16, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. outdoors at the Clarence Downey Speed Skating Oval (Dudley Street and Avenue R South in the Gordon Howe Complex), and indoors at Cosmo Civic Centre (3130 Laurier Drive).

There will be free games and activities at both locations, along with a DJ at the Clarence Downey Speed Skating Oval.  If you prefer to stay warm inside, there will also be free games, arts, and crafts in the Cosmo Civic Centre gym available from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Vending machines, change rooms, and public washrooms will be available 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.
