An iconic outdoor skating rink in Markham will not open for the coming season and fans are worried about its future. The operators of Cedarena said a number
of factors have lead to the decision not to open the rink, which features oldtime music, natural ice, a wooden clubhouse with woodstove and hot apple cider. Cedarena first announced it closure late last week on Facebook.
“Cedarena is a wonderful and magical place,” read the Facebook post. “It is also very unique in the way it is owned, operated and funded. Keeping the rink open is a very difficult and special job.” See CEDARENA, page 3.
