The CanSkate (Learn to Skate) program teaches skaters the foundations of ice-skating. Skaters will learn key skills that will form the basis for excelling at all ice sports such as figure skating, hockey, ringette, and speed skating. Skaters are immersed in a positive and fun environment where they constantly receive feedback and encouragement from our coaching team.
Our program is accredited through Skate Canada and is designed to facilitate progress towards Skate Canada’s Tests and Competitive Programs.
Achievement ribbons are awarded throughout the entire program.

CanSkate graduates who have passed CanSkate Stage 4 or higher, may choose to progress their skating skills further by entering our figure skating programs.
Skaters can choose from PreStar Performance (Introduction to Figure Skating), the Group Star, or Prestige Performance program depending upon the skater’s interest, and the amount of time they are able to commit to skating on a weekly basis.
