Due to stronger-than-expected Chinook winds combined with high temperatures, the ice surface at the Civic Plaza outdoor skating rink has been deemed unsafe for use. Although the ice remains frozen, the surface is soft and to avoid any potential injuries and to protect the ice from damage, the Civic Plaza outdoor rink will remain temporarily closed. As a result, Glow Skate has been postponed. We anticipate reopening the rink on the evening of Monday, December 9th at 5:30 p.m. when the Coaldale Figure Skating Club will host the concession as part of the Civic Plaza Winter Series . Join the Coaldale Figure Skating Club for hot chocolate, fires, and ice skating. Please note that while the ice plant is capable of maintaining skateable ice in temperatures as high as 10°C, temporary closures may be necessary during periods of warmer weather combined with strong winds. However, the ice plant will remain operational to preserve the ice's structure, and town staff will act promptly to restore the rink to full functionality. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Stay tuned for updates! The Town of Coaldale Civic Plaza is located at 2007 19 St. See you on the ice next week! Join us for our annual Glow Skate with music and a light show at the new Civic Plaza outdoor skating rink!
