TORONTO — The Bentway skate trail under Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway will remain open for a longer skating season thanks to a new partnership with CBC Sports.
The announcement was made Wednesday and will mean that instead of closing on February 17 as planned, the 220-metre, figure-eight-shaped skate trail will stay open until March 22.
In celebration of the upcoming World Figure Skating Championships in Montreal, taking place March 16-22, CBC Sports will bring its exclusive coverage of the event to The Bentway. In addition to a musical playlist presented by CBC Music during skate hours, visitors will be able to enjoy figure skating-related activities, including:
- Public Meet and Greet (February 22): Join popular figure skaters, including four-time world champion Kurt Browning and Canadian ice dancer Asher Hill, for a special Q&A, followed by a public skate.
- Public Viewing Events (March 18-22): Watch the World Figure Skating Championships unfold while you skate, with complete competition coverage from CBCSports.ca. For the complete schedule, please click here.
