Lead Writer, Travel

A gorgeous new skating spot has just opened outside of Toronto, and you can glide around a twinkling harbour.

The Skate Escape is taking place at Friday Harbour Resort in Innisfil until mid-March. The new rink is situated in the piazza and is surrounded by chalet-style cabins full of treats.

You can glide around the rink beneath a canopy of lights, and afterwards, you can visit one of the cabins to fill up on hot chocolate, gourmet cookies, waffles, and more.
