"refrigerated rink"

The Commission reviewed the progress of various infrastructure projects funded by a $10 million budget surplus from 2023. Discussions included the use of gender-based analysis (GBA+) to ensure inclusivity in sports facilities.

The City plans to launch a two-year pilot project for a refrigerated skating rink and public square at Parc des Cèdres in Aylmer, scheduled to open in November 2025. The project aims to test performance and public usage, with a focus on family-oriented free skating rather than hockey.
