About Our Programs
What is Learn-to-Skate?
The Learn-to-Skate program teaches the basic skating skills in a large group environment. Groups can be larger than the CanSkate program depending on registration. This is not a badge program.
This is a community based program, not a Skate Canada National Program. Each session runs for 30 minutes in length. This program is offered in the Fall (Oct-Dec) and Winter (Jan-March).
What is CANSKATE?
In the CanSkate program, skaters rotate between coaches during each session and can earn badges (Stages 1 through 6). This program is designed for skaters who have an interest in pursuing an ice sport.
This is a Skate Canada National Program. Each session runs for 50 minutes in length. Skaters also have the option to participate in our annual carnival show, Flashing Blades at the end of our season. This program runs from October to March.
