CanSkate is Skate Canada's flagship learn-to-skate program, designed for beginners of all ages. CanSkate is a program that focuses on fun, participation and basic skill development. Lessons are given in a group format and led by our NCCP certified professional coaches . Coaching staff is assisted by trained Program Assistants.
Skaters progress at their own rate and coaches make sessions active using teaching aids, music and a wide variety of activities that create a fun environment and promote learning. CanSkate is the feeder program to all other Skate Canada Skating Programs.
CanSkate provides a pathway for skaters to enjoy skating recreationally, or go on to participate in ice sports such as figure skating, hockey and ringette. Skills learned are categorized within the CanSkate Fundamental Movements:
Go Forward, Go Backward, Stop, Turn, Spin, and Jump
Skaters progress from Stage 1 through Stage 7 in the program, earn report cards and other incentives along the way.
These sessions are 45 minutes twice a week:
Monday & Wednesday 4:00 - 4:45 pm (excluding all holidays and other days as posted)
