Open House Skate

Canada Life Place is thrilled to announce the return of its beloved Open House Skate, presented by Harrison Pensa LLP, on Saturday, December 6th, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. This festive evening invites the community to enjoy free public skating, holiday cheer, and an opportunity to support local children in need.

Since 2008, the event has supported children in our community through an annual toy drive. However, beginning last year, Canada Life Place transitioned to collecting monetary donations and gift cards instead of toys — and this impactful new approach will continue in 2025. All proceeds will once again benefit the Children’s Aid Society of London and Middlesex. Guests can make their donations on-site via cash, debit, credit, or by providing gift cards.

For safety, those aged 16 and under are required to wear helmets. Attendees are invited to enter through Gate 4 on Dundas St. and enjoy free public skating at the home of the London Knights, alongside Scorzy! There will be fun concourse activities, and a concession stand open for food and beverage purchases. 

“The Open House Skate is a special tradition that brings our community together during the holiday season. It’s a great way for families to enjoy time on the ice while also supporting the important work of the Children’s Aid Society. We’re proud to continue hosting this event and welcoming everyone back to Canada Life Place” said Kelly Austin, General Manager with Oak View Group at Canada Life Place. 

Canada Life Place invites everyone to mark their calendars, bring their skates, and join in for an evening filled with joy and generosity.
