Arenas and locations
Outdoor public skating
Prince George is home to a number of outdoor ice skating rinks that are available for public use. Most of these rinks are maintained and operated by local community associations and their volunteers. Rink conditions will vary due to weather and the volunteers' schedules. - Please do not skate on freshly flooded or melting ice, this can cause damage that is difficult for the volunteers to repair.
Tentative rink locations
Outdoor ice rink hydrant training
Volunteers of approved Community Associations and the Outdoor Ice Oval must be certified to use a hydrant or standpipe for flooding approved outdoor ice rinks. The following is an on-line certification course for those volunteers. Only persons approved by the City and the Community Associations/Outdoor Ice Oval may take the course and use a hydrant or standpipe. Register with your local Community Association or Outdoor Ice Oval Society before taking this course.
Once a volunteer completes the course, they must email a copy of their certificate along with their name, contact information, their community association name (or Outdoor Ice Oval) and rink location to parksandrec@princegeorge.ca. Failure to do so will nullify your certification.
NEW: The on-line course must be renewed annually.
