New ice has been poured on The Bentway’s figure-eight shaped skating trail which is expected to open in late December. The refrigerated trail is one of the 1.75-kilometre Bentway’s major attractions opening this winter, with a green amphitheatre for public performances expected to open next summer.
“This is a completely different way of looking at the Gardiner Expressway,” said Julian Sleath, CEO of Bentway Conservancy in a recent CBC News article. Named after the concrete pillars which hold up the Gardiner (bents), Sleath believes the Bentway will become “an urban public space for all of us to use.”
