Arena and Skating
The Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinal operates two community arenas — one at the Spencerville Community Centre and one at the Ingredion Centre in Cardinal. We offer seasonal ice based programming, such as public skating, and host many organizations and groups using the arenas year-round for hockey, figure skating, drop-in programs, tradeshows, dance showcases, private functions and more.
Learn how you can rent community facilities, and view arena schedules and look at the facility rental rates bylaw.
You must complete the Township's COVID-19 online screening tool prior to visiting any arena, or complete a waiver at the door. We currently only admit 50 people into each arena facility at one time. This includes anyone skating, spectating, helping tie skates, walking on the track (at the Ingredion Centre), etc.
Skating programs
The Township and our generous partners host free and paid public skating programs during the fall and winter months for residents to enjoy. Participants can drop in to register.
Due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols and service changes, public skate programming is temporarily unavailable. Check for arena re-opening notices for more information on when they might become available.
