Halifax’s Emera Oval set to close for the season next Sunday

The Halifax Regional Municipality says the Emera Oval will close next weekend for the winter season.

Ice skating at the facility will end on March 15.

The municipality says staff monitor ice conditions throughout each day and, if they deteriorate, the Oval may close before then.

“Skaters are reminded to check the schedule prior to heading out, as skate times may be delayed or cancelled,” reads a Friday news release.

“The municipality looks forward to welcoming residents back to the Oval this summer, when the surface will be open for rollerblading, biking, skateboarding, in-line skating and more.”

The Emera Oval is the largest outdoor, artificially-refrigerated ice surface east of Quebec City.
