In the case of warm weather or extreme weather, Evergreen will cancel lessons & close public skating. As weather conditions may change unexpectedly, cancellation may be issued after class or public skating has started. Updates about public skating can be found on our website and instagram pages.

Extreme Weather is classified as:

• -20 degrees Celsius with windchill
• Freezing Rain
• Hail
• Extreme heavy rain/snow
• Or otherwise classified by Environment Canada and the City of Toronto

Personal Cancellations: To be eligible for a session refund, cancellations must be requested in writing to skating@evergreen.ca no later than 10 business days prior to the session start date. Late registration (within 10 business days of class start) will not be eligible for refund. No refunds will be issued if a reservation is cancelled within 10 business days of the session start date. In addition, no partial refunds will be offered for missed days. Otherwise, fees are 75% refundable (25% of fees will be retained as an administration fee). Please note, registrations are non-transferable.

Refund requests within 10 business days of the session start date can only be granted for extraordinary circumstances or major medical reasons. All requests must be received in writing and submitted to skating@evergreen.ca and will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the Program Manager. Please note, mild illnesses (i.e., common cold & flu) and changes in personal circumstances are not considered valid for refund.

Evergreen Cancellations: Evergreen will issue an email to all household emails in case of cancellation. Please note, it is the responsibility of the participant to check your household email for updates on rink conditions/lesson cancellations. Should Evergreen cancel 3 or more lessons in one session, a refund will be issued to participants. If 1 or 2 lessons in one session are cancelled by Evergreen, no refunds will be provided. Private lessons are an exception – private lessons cancelled by Evergreen will be refunded.
