Summer Ice Update 2025

The ice is being removed from May 1 to Aug 31st due to the limited mechanical operating capacity of the current arena system.
The reduction of system performance is amplified in the warmer spring/summer months and has been progressing from year to year – as the facility system is now 13 years old. Management at the Rath Eastlink Community Centre has provided recommendations to the Building Owners (Municipality of Colchester and Town of Truro) to replace the primary chiller within the facility with a new engineered system with increased operating capacity – to restore year around ice usage for the community in the years ahead. As operators, we are hopeful that this recommendation will be accepted. We understand the loss of spring/summer ice time is disappointing for some users and appreciate your understanding. We are working with new user groups to introduce additional recreational activities in the arena for the summer and will be providing new options for our users and members in the coming weeks.
Thank you for your continued support
