During the Saturday 09h00 to 11h30, Sunday 12h00 to 14h30 and 18h00 to 20h30 sessions, the ice is divided in half. One half of the ice rink is for guests and the other half for the 'learn to skate programs'.

A B2B (back to basics program) is run every quarter for six weeks on a Friday during the 18h00 to 20h30 session, where a third of the ice surface is used for one hour from 18h00 to 19h00.

Outside of the "guest" session hours, figure skating and ice hockey take place.

The rink would be closed for "guest" skating if we are hosting competitions and tournaments.
