Community Skate March 2026

Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik invites the community to a special night of free leisure skating. This is your opportunity to experience the rink in a truly memorable way. Imagine gliding across the very same ice where the Toronto Marlies and the Toronto Sceptres play. It sounds incredible, and now it is your chance to be part of it.

On Friday, March 6, the Family Public Skate will take place from 7PM to 9:30PM. Skates, helmets, and skate aids will be available on a first-come, first-served basis through the Skate Lending Library, generously supported by Desjardins Financial Group, making this event accessible to everyone, even if you do not have your own equipment.

Paid parking is available on site. Transit is the preferred option to reach Exhibition Place and is accessible via TTC and GO Transit. TTC riders can take the 504 King Streetcar or the 511 Bathurst Streetcar directly to Exhibition Place, or the 29 Dufferin Bus for a direct route. GO Transit riders can take the Lakeshore West Line and get off at Exhibition Station. Please check online for the most up-to-date schedules when planning your trip.

We look forward to welcoming you for a weekend of community, celebration, and skating at Coca-Cola Coliseum.
