2026 Off-Season Ice Rental

Expression of Interest

The Town of Saugeen Shores has begun the 3-year pilot program offering year-round ice that started in 2025 at the Saugeen Shores Community Complex (The Plex). To help build an efficient ice schedule and maximize the use of available ice, the Town is asking for interested groups/organizations to submit an expression of interest for their off-season ice programs.

Timeline:

October 10 to October 24: accept expressions of interest
October 27 to November 7: review requests and build schedule
November 10 to 21: notify groups/organizations of their allocated ice time
December 1 to December 19: groups/organizations confirm ice times, and Town provides contracts

Other Considerations:

The prime time ice rental rate applies to all bookings during the off-season period
Regular ice season allocation does not apply during the off-season
Expressions of interest will be reviewed as a whole after October 24, not on a first come first serve basis.
Rentals will be accepted outside the 'expression of interest' period once the schedule is developed

Off Season Ice Periods:

2026: April 27 to September 6, 2026
2027: April 26 to September 5, 2027

Please note that expressions of interest for ice bookings will not be reviewed if the submitting account/user is not in good standing at the time of submission.

Yes, I acknowledge.
