Staff Pick: This is one of the news stories our staff is reading this week.
Skating is open on the Trent-Severn Waterway canal, south of the Peterborough Lift Lock, the city announced Friday.
The city says ice conditions on the canal are monitored regularly and posted with a green flag when conditions are safe for skating. A red flag indicates conditions are unsafe.
“Residents are reminded to always follow the flag indicator and all COVID-19 public health guidelines,” the city stated.
Status updates on the canal will be posted on the city’s website and its social media channels @CityPtbo on Facebook and Twitter.
Neighbourhood rinks
For the winter season, the city will host 23 outdoor skating rinks, supported by a group of more than 50 volunteers who prepare, flood and maintain the ice. The neighbourhood rink program — which has been run in city parks since 1965 — will this year have rinks open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, depending on weather and ice conditions and subject to public health measures.
