From Dec. 18 until January 3, 2024, all public skating including Family, Everyone Welcome, 16+ Adult Skates and Parent and Tot on Ice will take place in the holiday wonderland featuring festive trees, lights, family photo locations and all your favourite holiday blow-ups, decorations and more.
“This year marks the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex’s Fourth Annual Cariboo Winterland and it’s something all of us look forward to being able to offer the community each year,” said Emma Davidson, recreation (child and youth) program coordinator.
“We are so excited to see families having fun and celebrating the holiday season on the ice with us for two weeks during the break.”
