Ice making begun at The Loop

City staff have begun the ice making process at The Loop in Bannerman Park; however, it is not suitable for skating at this time.
 
The recent ground and surface temperatures, and those forecast for this week, have been low enough to begin the ice making process. Ice is built in layers 1/16 of an inch thickness to a final thickness of one inch. Progress is dependent on weather conditions.
 
Skating on The Loop before it is ready damages the ice and delays the opening. Please stay off The Loop until the opening is officially announced.
 
Once the final layer of ice making is complete the City will provide a Public Service Announcement to the general public and the media. For up to date information about The Loop you call The Loop Line at 733-LOOP (5667), visit stjohns.ca, or follow us on social media.
