As of March 21, 2022, Ontario has continued the gradual ease of public health measures and the Meridian Community Centre, as a recreation facility, will no longer require proof of vaccination or masks for entry. Masks are strongly encouraged to be worn, and visitors are reminded to stay home if feeling unwell.

The Meridian Community Centre is home to two NHL sized rinks and programs and events for all ages and skill levels. Public skating, adult learn to skate, stick and puck, men's shinny, women's shinny, women's learn to play hockey, and more are offered throughout the year.

*Programming schedule subject to change. Please note that all ice programs are subject to a standard 50 minute hour to allow time for a flood.
