Free senior skating returns thanks to community sponsors
The Township of Selwyn has announced the return of free senior skating in Lakefield and Ennismore, thanks to the support of local sponsors.
Free weekly skating for seniors will be take place October through March at the Lakefield-Smith Community Centre and the Ennismore Community Centre.
Residents aged 55 and over can enjoy a slower paced, leisurely skate allowing them to maintain an active lifestyle, enjoy time with friends, and connect with others in the community.
Senior skating sessions are available on:
Mondays from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. at the Ennismore Community Centre, 553 Ennis Rd., Ennismore
Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. at the Lakefield-Smith Community Centre, 20 Concesssion St., Lakefield
