The rink on the Burlington Rotary Centennial Pond at Discovery Landing has officially closed for the 2017-2018 season.
City staff are preparing for spring when the 10,000 sq.-ft. (or 929 square-metre) feature transforms into a reflective pond.

The skate lending program at Rotary Centennial Pond yielded donations – 145 pairs of skates – and more than 1,800 skates were borrowed.
