Access to the ice will be limited this spring as the Town of Georgina begins a "significant" ice refrigeration upgrade project at the Georgina Ice Palace, starting April 28.
"This project will address essential improvements to the facility’s refrigeration units to improve overall reliability and operational efficiency," a Town of Georgina news release said.
The town is working with sports organizations and rental groups to support their seasonal ice needs. To accommodate spring ice users, the Sutton Arena will remain open through late spring, allowing youth groups to finish their seasons, the town said.
Ice will be unavailable at all town locations starting May 18 and will resume Sept. 2 at the Georgina Ice Palace and Sept. 15 at the Georgina Sutton Arena.
"The town appreciates the patience and understanding of the community during this transition and looks forward to welcoming everyone back to the improved Georgina Ice Palace this fall," the release said.
