Focus on Family: Borrow a Sledge from CTN
Adapted skating and sledge events are more popular than ever now that some municipalities provide their own sledges to make winter ice time fun for all abilities! Learn more about these options or borrow one of CTN's 18 sledges for your family activity. If you'd like to borrow a sledge, please contact Jacqui Wesselingh at [email protected] (Simcoe County) or Christian Marquez at [email protected] (York Region).
