MISSISSAUGA: As the weather gets colder, exercise and mental health remain a priority.
Mississauga has many opportunities to skate outdoors on both outdoor and natural ice rinks for you to enjoy while ensuring that current health measures are followed.
When outdoors, it is crucial that residents observe outdoor etiquette to help keep everyone
safe. This includes only having close contact with people in your household or essential supports, staying a safe distance of six feet from others, wearing a face covering and staying home if you are ill and getting tested.
