TD Bank and Union Station will add a large, free ice skating rink in front of the train terminal this Christmas season. It will sit smack on Front St. in Sir John A. Macdonald Square. TD is the banker for Union Station and the ice rink is part of the annual Union Holiday. Skating will be free and run from November 29 to January 4. The rink will offer skating lessons, skate rentals and helmet rentals. In addition to the rink, Union Holiday will be the home to free music performances inside the historic West Wing and free gift wrapping from December 9 to 24, compliments of TD.
Keeping Union Station a people place
With many retailers inside Union Station to provide holiday shopping, Union Station is offering something for everyone at Union Holiday this season. In case your wondering, Union Station is still owned by the City of Toronto. The deal with TD is an attempt to make the old station a people place both before and after rush hour. Maybe TD would like to try to breathe some life in Old City Hall when the courts leave.
