Char-Lan Recreation Centre to Reopen November 18, 2026.

The ice surface at the Char-Lan Recreation Centre is set to reopen on Wednesday, November 18, 2026. Some construction and finishing work will continue after reopening, and free public skating programs will resume the week of December 7.

Parking and building access

Crews will continue replacing exterior insulation and siding. The building will be open to the public, and construction areas will remain fenced off. Parking will be limited, especially on the west side of the building. Access to the rear of the arena will remain closed. Please use caution near construction areas.

Work inside the arena

Spectator stands and player benches will be available when the arena reopens. Crews may continue electrical and finishing work around the arena when the building is unoccupied. Some work may be completed in the spring after the ice season ends.

Free public skating resumes the week of December 7

With construction still underway, the Township’s free Tuesday and Thursday skating programs, including 55+ Skate, 55+ Shinny and Beginner Skate, will resume the week of December 7. For program details, visit the public skating page.

Thank you for your patience throughout the renovation. We look forward to welcoming residents, user groups and visitors back to the Char-Lan Recreation Centre.
