Thanksgiving Thrills: Free Swims and Skates in Calgary!

This comes right from the City of Calgary News Room—get ready for some Thanksgiving fun! On October 13th, enjoy free swimming and skating to make your holiday memorable. Swim for free at Acadia, Killarney, and Renfrew Aquatic Centres, with sessions from 1 to 2:30 p.m. and 3 to 4:30 p.m. Prefer skating? Hit the ice at Optimist, Rose Kohn, or Stu Peppard arenas from 1 to 2:15 p.m. And remember, it’s the perfect opportunity to reconnect with community spirit and stay active. If you want to explore more, city golf courses are open, but book fast because it’s the last day for Lakeview and McCall Lake courses. Commuters, keep in mind Calgary Transit will run on a Sunday schedule. However, the Red Line northbound is partly closed for essential maintenance until October 14th. You can always rely on free on-street parking in ParkPlus zones, making your travel hassle-free. Dive into Calgary's vibrant community vibe this Thanksgiving with these delightful city offerings.
