The new Skate Pavilion and Food Concession building in Nathan Phillips Square officially opened with the beginning of the skating season. It's the third element of the Nathan Phillips Square Revitalization project to be completed (the new City Hall Podium Green Roof and upgrades to the existing children's playground were the first two). The building features new skate rental and change room spaces to serve the public, new public washrooms, rink support facilities and a roof terrace where the public can take in the panoramic view of the square. The food concession space will be outfitted to offer snack foods later this year.
