What this place is
A figure skate sharpening shop in a unit on Essex Avenue in Thornhill, south of Highway 407 and west of Bayview Avenue, off Langstaff Road East.
Jake’s Figure Skate Sharpening
This is a one-purpose workshop: a small unit in a Thornhill industrial street that exists to sharpen figure skates, with a shelf of the guards, tights, laces and gel socks figure skaters go through. It names competitive skaters as its main customers, and it does one job, figure blades, rather than running a busy retail counter.
The shop asks you to book ahead, by phone during opening hours or by email, and it keeps a shorter week in summer than in the skating season, so check the schedule on its home page, where changes are posted, before a test or competition. When you book, mention your blade model and the date of any test or event, so the work can be planned around it.
Thornhill Community Centre is about 2 km away, and Ed Sackfield Arena in Richmond Hill is under 3 km.
Sharpens: figure. Not stated: hockey, goalie, speed / long-track, recreational & rental.

Skates for sale
