The Tara-Arran Arena has been temporarily closed following a mechanical failure of its refrigeration plant.
The Municipality of Arran-Elderslie announced the closure on November 9, 2026, saying the ice surface will remain unavailable while staff assess the problem and determine what repairs are needed.
In its announcement, the municipality says "the closure is expected to last a minimum of one week," although no firm reopening date has been established.
All ice user groups have been notified by the Recreation Department, with scheduled activities suspended.
"Public skating and all other ice activities are cancelled until further notice," the municipality stated.
The closure only affects the arena's ice surface. The adjoining community centre and curling club remain open, with existing bookings continuing as scheduled.
Municipal officials say further updates will be provided once the assessment is complete and a maintenance plan has been confirmed.
