Walter Gurba Rink

The Walter Gurba Rink in Edmonton is a popular ice skating rink located in the Delton Community League. Named after a dedicated community member, the rink opens each year in early November and offers hours of fun for skaters of all ages. The rink is maintained by volunteers, including Bill, Justin, Tyler, and Janet, who work hard to ensure it is ready for the opening day.

The rink opens with a big celebration, thanking Mother Nature for the cold weather and 102,000 litres of water that are used to create the ice surface. Skates and helmets are available for use at the rink, so even those who don't have their own equipment can enjoy a day of skating. The rink boasts a record of opening in just eight days, thanks to the dedication of the volunteers.

The Delton Community League, where Walter Gurba Rink is located, is always looking for new volunteers to join their team. The community league hosts various events and activities throughout the year, including social dancing, line dancing, kids' crafts, workshops, and more. The league also offers hall rentals for private events and gatherings.

The Walter Gurba Rink is a hub of activity in the community, bringing neighbours together for fun and exercise during the winter months. Whether you're a seasoned skater or a beginner, the rink is a welcoming place to enjoy the ice and make new memories with friends and family.
