The speed skating competitions were held at the St. John Paul II Catholic Secondary School.[1][2] Originally the 400 meters oval would be constructed at CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Aquatics Centre and Field House and meant to be temporary but a last minute venue change to St. John Paul II Catholic Secondary School meant that the high school got to keep the track after the competition.[3]
The figure skating competitions took place at the Direct Energy Centre (Exhibition Centre) – Hall B. Due to naming rights the venue was known as the latter for the duration of the games. A total of eight events (six in speed and two in figure) were contested, with the events being equally split between each gender.[4][5]
