3.2.1 Ice Pads
Table 3-2 summarizes the responses of user groups to the Master Plan survey on current participation, ice use and facility needs. The 2023/24 schedules for Colin Campbell and Kinsmen Memorial Arenas - which document ice time requests and ice time received - were used to depict the patterns of ice use at both pads and to determine the extent of prime time use.
As shown in the Appendix A:
• Prime time use at both pads is close to 100% capacity. • Contrary to current arena use patterns in many Ontario municipalities, early morning hours are also very well used. • Almost all non-prime time is unused.
