Pre-CanSkate 

Pre-CanSkate is designed for first time skaters and will teach how to stand independently without the assistance of a skate aid or adult and to move forward, backward, make 'snow' as a basic stopping motion and other basic skating skills.  

Skaters must be over the age of 4 as of the start date of the class.   

Pre-CanSkate is a 30 minute program.     

CanSkate

CanSkate is a complete series of balance, control and agility skills taught in six stages of learning that pertain to hockey, ringette, speed skating and figure skating as well as general recreational skating. 

CanSkate uses nationally-tested and proven curriculum and delivery methods that guarantee skater success in developing stronger basic skills and developing them faster.

Skaters must be over the age of 4 as of the start date of the class and have passed Pre-CanSkate (or have equivalent skills), unless otherwise approved by the Club.
