Free senior skating returns thanks to a local sponsor

The Township of Selwyn has announced the return of free senior skating at the Lakefield-Smith Community Centre, made possible through a generous sponsorship from The Regency of Lakefield.

Thanks to The Regency’s continued support, all senior skating sessions in Lakefield will be free of charge for participants aged 55 and over throughout the 2025–2026 season. The drop-in senior skate offers a slower paced leisurely skate, and is a great way to stay active in the cooler months.
