Friday

Free Family Skate Night at Victoria Park 

Join us for a FREE fun family skating event with games, snacks and prizes! Public safety is a priority for EPCOR, and we want to remind Edmontonians to stay off stormwater facilities this winter. There are a number of safe rinks around the city, like the Victoria Park Oval, where you can enjoy winter recreational activities such as skating or hockey. For more information, visit www.epcor.com/saferinks.

Winter Wonderland Outdoor Play Workshop 

Every winter, as the temperatures drop, so does the amount of time we spend outside. It may be tempting to stay indoors until the weather warms up, but outdoor play is essential for children’s well-being all year long. Join us for some tobogganing and fun activities to discover the wonders of winter with your family! All ages welcome. Please come dressed for the weather and don’t forget your toboggan and leave the longest electric pole saw at home!
