Residents of all ages are invited to a free Skate With Santa and Mrs. Claus offered by the Comox Valley Regional District, in partnership with Comox Valley McDonald’s.

The skate happens Sunday, Dec. 17 from 1:15 – 3:15 p.m. in Arena 2 at the CVRD Sports Centre. Limited skate rentals are available, so be sure to arrive early. And remember to bring your camera or smartphone to have your picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus on the Zamboni between 1:15 and 1:45 p.m. Enjoy holiday music, as well as coffee and hot chocolate by donation to Ronald McDonald House.

“We’re excited to partner with Comox Valley McDonald’s again this year to offer this free skate for the community to enjoy,” manager of recreation services Susan Bullock said. “This festive family event is a great opportunity to fit in some activity during the busy holiday season.”
