The ice surface at the Tara-Arran Arena is temporarily closed after a mechanical failure of the arena's refrigeration plant, the Municipality of Arran-Elderslie said in a notice posted Monday.
The municipality said the closure is expected to last a minimum of one week while the issue is assessed and a maintenance plan is confirmed. It has not announced a reopening date. Public skating and all other ice activities are cancelled until further notice.
Arran-Elderslie said its Recreation Department has contacted all arena ice user groups. The closure is limited to the ice surface and does not affect the Community Centre or the Curling Club, where scheduled bookings continue as usual.
The municipality said it will update the notice once more information is available and a maintenance plan is in place. Its news page had not posted a later update as of Wednesday afternoon.
