Ice pad A in the Earl Nichols Recreation Centre is closed since it has been converted into a clinic where the COVID-19 vaccine is delivered. We are glad to support our health partners & the community this way, but this means we will not be offering any programs and will not be taking any bookings at ice pad A moving forward. Thank you for your understanding and your patience.
