The Bill Barber Arena functions as a public skating rink in the winter months. The public skating schedule will be posted here and on social media once the rink is open. The length of the skating season is subject to the weather.

The rink is also available for private rentals during the skating season during specific times, as seen in the schedule.

The Hector "Hec" Lavigne Memorial Pavilion in Centennial Park is available for rent and accommodates many birthday parties and gatherings during the summer months.

The Pavilion is only available for private rentals during certain times. For available times, view the Pavilion Rental Schedule.

The Municipality of Callander’s Commemorative Tree and Bench Program is available for anyone who wishes to give a lasting legacy in the community. The gift is yours to give, whether it is to honour a loved one, a deceased animal, an experience, an organization, or perhaps to recognize an important event in your life. Some may also wish to honour an important event for the planet, such as Earth Day, or National Wildlife Day. Whatever your reason, your commemoration will be a beautiful addition to the Municipality of Callander.

In the spring of 2023, Municipal Staff installed a number of commemorative benches to be readied for sponsorship. If you are interested in sponsoring one of these benches, please read our Commemorative Naming Policy, and return the filled in form at the end of the policy to us in person at 280 Main Street North, or by email to info@callander.ca. We will then be in touch to arrange all the details, including the design and installation of the commemorative plaque.
