This year, in the last round of non-profit sports grants, Tallinn will allocate just over 31,000 euros to 31 local sports projects.

Tallinn's open-air ice rinks are set to open in mid-November. Mustamäe and Lasnamäe rinks will open on November 11, Nõmme and Old Town rinks on November 18. Schools can schedule free sessions on the rinks, and seniors are offered complimentary access.

All residents of Tallinn have until midnight on 30 November to take part in the selection of the best athlete and team in Tallinn 2022. Residents can vote for their favorites in the following categories: best female athlete, best male athlete, best sports team, best youth athlete and best para-athlete on the website www.tallinn.ee/et/aastasportlane2022.

The eighth edition of the Sports Morning last Friday brought nearly 600 amateur athletes to the capital's sports halls and winter swimming centers.

The above-zero temperatures that arrived on Tuesday will persist for a week with both sleet and rain expected. The changeable weather conditions could cause ice to form on buildings, while snow and slush could make it difficult to walk on pavements.

In winter, many drivers use now covered green areas to park their vehicles - without realizing that this violates traffic regulation.

The changeable weather, with varying degrees of plus and minus, brings with it the risk of slippery conditions as well as dangerous icy patches, so property owners need to monitor the amount of snow on their roofs, remove snow and dangerous icy patches, and provide de-icing in the area around their property.

As part of the Be Active Year, all residents of Tallinn will have the opportunity to go winter swimming for free at the Pirita and Nõmme winter swimming centres. Instructors and a warm sauna will be available on site.

Tallinn's skating rinks, which opened in mid-November, have already been visited more than 52 000 times. The whole population is welcome to enjoy the winter fun - the capital's schools can continue to organize free exercise classes on the ice rinks, and there are also free facilities for senior citizens.

During the 13th Youth Song and Dance Festival from 30 June to 2 July, the city of Tallinn will have special buses leaving the city centre, make some public transport lines run more frequently and create designated parking areas for bicycles and scooters. Tallinn’s public transport is free for all passengers during the big celebration – from 30 June to 2 July.
