Learn-to-Skate (Beginner CanSkate)
Learn-to-skate is for beginning skaters,
ages 3-5 who have never skated before.
The program focuses on fun, participation
and basic skill development. Skaters earn
stickers and badges as they learn
fundamental skating skills. Lessons are
taught in a group format by certified coaches
and assistants. Skaters progress at their own
rate and coaches use teaching aids, music and a wide variety of activities to create a fun learning environment. Equipment: Skaters MUST wear CSA Approved Helmets with Facemask, warm clothing, mittens and skates that have good ankle support. For more info, contact our CanSkate Coordinator, Joanne Card at 613-398-0404.

CanSkate Levels 1-4
The CanSkate Program is open to children
with previous skating experience (any age)
and 6 year olds with no previous skating
experience. CanSkate is a seven-stage
program that starts with the basic skating
skills and progresses in difficulty and skill
level. The program runs for 50 minutes
once a week, and is taught by Professional
Coaches and qualified Program Assistants.  In each stage, skaters continuously develop the six basic skating skills: forward skating, backwards skating, stopping, turning, spinning and jumping. Awards and incentives are used to motivate skaters and to keep their interest.  Competition opportunities begin at this level. For more info, contact our CanSkate Coordinator, Joanne Card at 613-398-0404.
