Family Skate Day 2025 was nothing short of spectacular, and we couldn\u2019t be more thrilled with the turnout.

Families\u2014parents, kids, grandparents, and friends\u2014came together to enjoy a fun-filled day on the ice. Whether you were gliding with ease or perfecting your unique stopping technique (hey, falling is just a creative way to slow down!), everyone had a blast.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"732\" data-end=\"1018\">Hot chocolate, coffee, and mouthwatering treats filled the air, creating a cozy and festive vibe. And speaking of treats\u2014let\u2019s talk about those donuts! If there were a gold medal for donut consumption, we\u2019d have a few champions in the crowd.

Absolutely. Stylish? You Decide.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1556\" data-end=\"1834\">If you saw someone skating around in boots, proudly wrapped in a Canadian flag like a scarf, that was me. When the Canadian spirit kicks in, you embrace it in full force. Some people wear scarves; I rock a full-on flag moment. It\u2019s called style, folks, and I\u2019m sticking with it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1836\" data-end=\"1872\"><strong data-start=\"1836\" data-end=\"1872\">Thank You, Beacon Hill-Cyrville!<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2695 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/timtierneyottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/479420419_1399916930972348_1380781973337782725_n-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timtierneyottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/479420419_1399916930972348_1380781973337782725_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/timtierneyottawa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/479420419_1399916930972348_1380781973337782725_n.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1874\" data-end=\"2234\">Family Skate Day is about more than just skating\u2014it\u2019s about bringing people together.
