D	D. Turned. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kinda run down from its former glory, could use some better skate protection when the kids are walking from dressing room to rink. Recommend wearing guards up to the ice. Really easy to step off and drag a blade on the cement. Dressing rooms are spacious, so that's a plus. The weirdest part is the acoustics of the building. It is something that you have to be there to understand. Both silent and dead, but you can hear every thing at the same time. But it's cool to play in front of massive stands, even if there is less than a handful of people there.
M	Mrs. Kim on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went to the PNE for the Make-it Craft show 2019. This is a review on the craft show not the actual forum. Though the forum is yhe perfect venue for the show. Parking is conveniently located directly across the street at a 5$ rate (various depending on whats going on). The forum is a large open space to hold an event like this with reasonably clean washrooms. The show itself was awesome. It was better than expected with different vendors than the Make-it Christmas 2018. One could easily spend 2 hours there or more sampling food and looking at the various vendors. There is also a slient auction and free raffle featuring various handmade goods from the individual vendors. All around a food venue for all ages.

T	Tapesh Singhal on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was there to attend 'Feel The Power' Cheer leading competition. Big place for Athletes to perform and practice. However, the sound system or acoustics needs improvement in the amphitheatre. The good music became loud noise causing headache and speaker voice was not clear when he was announcing prizes and results on the Mike at the end of the competition. There was no mobile charging points for parents, friend and audiences who accompanied their athletes considering the full day program and wanted to click pictures and videos of performances. Only a small cafe inside without sitting facility, and no microwave to warm up meal during a full day program for children. The only options were to buy from outside stall or having snacks from inside cafe. I also didn't find a drinking water option inside. All the above are only the basic necessities if you are planning to invite guests and athletes including kids for full day programs or competitions.
M	Michael MacFarlane on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Terrible concert venue. Bad acoustics, cement floor, minimal seating (when your standing on concrete for 3 hours, the option to sit is nice), not enough washrooms (indoor porta potties, gross), no heating of any kinda... this is enough for me to not want to go back. Oh my god the idiocy of their alcohol policy. You can only order 2 drinks. No doubles (technically). I was there as a group of 3, 2 of us stood in line. She ordered a drink for her, a drink for a friend, and a drink for me... Got told no, she could only buy two. We point out that it should be 4 since 2 of us are at the counter, nope. So she buys 2 drinks, and then separately I order a double rum and coke. "I can't give you a double, but I can give you a single rum and coke, and another shot of rum, and you can assemble it yourself". Sigh okay sure.
R	Ruairi O'Callaghan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Friendly staff, easy ticket and security checks, plenty of toilets/bars/amenities. Lighting and sound systems were fantastic, best gig I’ve been to in a long time! (Bonobo/Jordan Rakei)
S	Stu161 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ im often impressed by the sound and light engineering that makes this auditorium/livestock barn a viable concert venue. the seating faces the centre, rather than the front, and the acoustics are bad; but i've still seen some killer shows here. location is very convenient, just off the highway and surrounded by beautiful parks. there is a cafe inside which is good in a pinch but way overpriced. great place for a trade show, market or convention
S	Saiwan S. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great lights drive thru for like half an hour straight, awesome design with many food trucks that you can stop by and having some snacks. Recommended
