Ice Arena Closure Update

Please be advised that the ice rink at Brennan Park Recreation Centre will remain closed tomorrow, Thursday September 4, 2025, as we continue to address the high humidity in the arena which is causing unsafe surface conditions on the ice. 

The Facilities team and our contractor have been working diligently to address the issue. The use of commercial-grade dehumidifiers and drainage of the pool to 80% today has resulted in some reduction in the humidity levels and it is expected that the levels will continue to improve overnight and tomorrow.

All programming and public use has been cancelled for Thursday, September 4 and Staff are communicating directly with impacted user groups. 

Staff are actively monitoring the situation hour-by-hour. In a best-case scenario, the arena could re-open as early as Friday, September 5. We will provide an update to the public on the condition of the ice and the closure by 4 p.m. on Thursday, September 4, 2025.

We recognize this is a significant inconvenience and we thank you for your patience while we work to restore ice access.
