We’re officially past that awkward, early part of fall where nobody wants to admit that cold weather is on the way, and here’s proof: 14 of the City’s outdoor skating rinks are opening for the season on Saturday, November 23, which is just four days away. That’s right. Winter just got real.

Read on for a list of all the rinks that are opening on Saturday. Most of the rest of the City’s 52 outdoor pads are scheduled to open a week later, on November 30. (Or, if you absolutely must go ice skating right this second, Harbourfront Centre’s rink is already up and running.)
