Ice Request Form

To ensure that access to its facilities is fair and equitable for all of its existing and potential users. The City has established an allocation process will take place before each ice season with the following considerations:

• A coordinated allocation of its various facilities to make the most effective and efficient use of facilities
• To provide appropriate time slots and opportunities for all levels and types of users
• To promote and allow growth toward maximum utilization of facilities
• To service the demand and warranted change resulting from changing demographics and recreation/leisure trends by maintaining sufficient flexibility of scheduling
• To accommodate local community user groups
• To establish clear priority listing for allocation of available facility time

For further information refer to the City of Kawartha Lakes Revised Ice Facility Allocation Management Directive.

Ice Request Packages:

Contact the Facility Booking Office for further details.

Allocation Process:

Ice Allocations are processed through the Facility Booking Office. Once requests are received by the deadline the Supervisors of each facility will go through and allocate ice time based on the priority listing located in the City of Kawartha Lakes Revised Ice Facility Allocation Management Directive.

Once ice has been allocated, contracts will be created and emailed to each user group. Contracts must be reviewed, signed and returned to the Facility Booking Office by a specified due date in order to have a firm booking. Failure to do so could result in the ice time being allocated to someone else.
