Community Skate Exchange

Brantford’s Community Skate Exchange returns to help provide residents with gently-used ice skates to enjoy outdoor recreation during the winter season. Residents are invited to donate, exchange or pick-up a free pair of gently-used ice skates.

Skate Exchange

The Community Skate Exchange program takes place Wednesdays, December 3 and 10, 2025 and January 7 to February 11, 2026 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Harmony Square main office, located at 89 Dalhousie Street. Community members in need of ice skates, or looking to exchange their old ones for a new size, are encouraged to attend. Appointments outside of regular program hours can be booked by emailing harmonysquare@brantford.ca.
