As things currently stand, the city plans on having the Market Square ice rink up and running this year.

"We’re getting City services and programs ready for winter, based on advice from Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health. These plans might change depending on provincial regulations and guidance from public health," the city said in a news release.

The Market Square rink will open in December. The city needs 10 days in a row of sub-zero temperature to ge the rink up and running.

"You are welcome to come skate so long as you stay two metres or 6.5 feet from people you don’t live with. Washrooms will be open during skating hours and you must wear a mask inside," the city said.

The rink status can be found at guelph.ca/marketsquare.

Community rinks will also be available this winter through community volunteers.

A complete list, map and status of each rink is online at guelph.ca/outdoorrinks. Check the website every Friday after 3 p.m. to see which rinks are open.
