Break on the ice
Lunch hours can be a lot more active for downtown workers thanks to the free skate rentals being offered by the City of Edmonton. On Thursdays and Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., pick up a pair of blades and enjoy gliding around the City Hall ice rink. The complimentary skate and helmet rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Ice skating can be a fun addition to your fitness repertoire: according to Glamour.com, a 150-pound person ice skating at moderate intensity for 30 minutes will burn 250 calories.
When: Thursdays and Fridays, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. until Feb. 22
Where: City Hall
Admission: Free
Information: 780-442-5311, or edmonton.ca
