DJ Skate Night Saturday

20/1/2016

​On Saturday, we laced up our skates for the first time in 2016 and skated around to some tunes at Toronto's weekly DJ Skate Night!

After a curling game earlier on in the day with some of Elizabeth’s co-workers, Luke took a quick nap before we headed out again, this time down to the waterfront.
 
We only passed a few people as we walked through the crisp air from Union Station to the rink, so we found ourselves checking our phones repeatedly to make sure we were headed in the right direction. As we walked on, slowly but surely, the ratio of people carrying skates to those not carrying skates increased exponentially so we knew we were on the right track.

The Habourfront Centre was absolutely packed so we were extra happy to be able to whip out our skates, put our boots in Luke's backpack, and hop straight onto the ice; no skate or locker rentals required! This approach is definitely recommended if you own your own skates. So convenient. Plus, the skating itself is free so we had a fun, cheap Saturday out.

…not to mention picturesque, with a view of the CN Tower on one side and Lake Ontario on the other!
Contrary to the skating abilities of many Brits, Luke played (ice) hockey when he was younger so he blends in perfectly at Canadian skating rinks… as long as he doesn’t open his mouth.

We were lucky to have clear weather for our evening at the DJ Skate Night and had a great time down at the rink. The event is marketed as "Toronto’s Best Winter Block Party", and it's not too far off!

​Here are a few more photos of our evening:

Curious what we were doing this time last year? Well, we spent an afternoon learning how to wall climb! And two years ago we checked out the local outdoor skating rink in St. John's, the Bannerman Loop.

This looks so fun! I'm glad I came across your blog. I may have to shoot you an email and ask how you got that slideshow set up in the blog post. It looks really good.

Thanks! We host our blog through Weebly which makes adding slideshows really easy. I'm not exactly sure how to do it otherwise!
