Ice is starting to form on the lake, and "Danger Thin Ice" signs have been posted. Lake Staff will be closely monitoring the ice thickness and its condition throughout the winter. The ice will open once management determines that the ice is safe, and the “Danger Thin Ice” signs have been removed. Until then please do not go on the ice sheet.
Why is the Lake Ice Not Open Yet? (Update as of Dec 29, 2025)
We understand that everyone is eager to get out on the lake to enjoy winter activities, but safety is always a priority for us. Our lake ice is not open yet because it isn't thick enough for our crew to safely take snow removal equipment onto the ice to clear skating rinks.
Ice thickness can vary significantly from lake to lake due to several factors. One of the biggest factors is lake depth. Deeper lakes take longer to cool and freeze. Lake Sundance is one of the deepest man-made lakes in the city, which means it typically freezes later than surrounding lakes and is often one of the last to open for skating.
Snow cover also plays a major role. Snow acts as an insulator, trapping heat and slowing the ice-thickening process. Even a thin layer of snow can significantly reduce ice growth. While we have experienced cold temperatures this winter, those cold periods have also been accompanied by snowfall, which has slowed ice development.
Our crew regularly monitors ice thickness across the lake. Skating will open as soon as conditions are safe for both the public and our maintenance equipment. We will not delay opening longer than necessary, but safety must come first.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we wait for the ice to reach safe conditions.
Red Flag is Flying !
Red Flag is Flying !
The color of the flag will indicate whether the water or ice cover is open or closed.
RED FLAG = WATER IS CLOSED TO ALL USERS
The flags are not a sole indication of safety conditions or information.
The Sundance Lake Residence Association closely monitors the lake and lake ice for public use. Regardless of the Flag Warning System and the presence of a coloured Flag, access and use of lake and lake ice are done at the sole risk of the member or their guests.
You now can enjoy the convenience of registering your guests ahead of your arrival at the Lake! Guest registration forms can now be accessed from your own computer or cellphone.
This will get you and your guests through the gate and into the park faster by reducing line-ups. It also frees up the staff to assist you with equipment sign-out, payments or other activities that happen in the office.
There are even more features being added soon, stay tuned!
