A tentative date of February 18th has been announced for the annual Icycle 2012 held at Dufferin Grove. The winter favourite has been held onthe I e rinks at Dufferin Grove for the last ten years. The event was moved from Toronto Island when warming temperatures made having the track on the lagoon an impossibility.

Since then the staff and park have welcomed the event with open arms and a warm area to fix flats. Every year the event raises over a thousand dollars for groups or individuals in need.

This years recipient will be Charlie's Freewheels a local group who teach bicycle mechanical skills to youth in Regent Park.

Event organizers see nothing preventing the event going forward except spring like temperatures and or the city locking it's employees out.

One event organizer said that it wouldn't be a good event without some kind of mini crisis looming on the horizon.
