This program is designed for children who have completed the Pre-Canskate program or have basic skating skills. This program focuses on fun participation and basic skill development. Lessons are given in a group format and led by certified Professional Coaches and assisted by trained Program Assistants. Skaters progress at their own rate and coaches make sessions active by using teaching aids, music and a wide variety of activities that create a fun environment that promotes learning. Once a skater has completed all 4 levels of the Canskate program they can move on to the Canskate+ (Levels 5 & 6) program.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: Skates and Mitts. It is mandatory they wear a CSA Approved Helmet (No bike helmets).

CanSkate+ includes the final two levels of the CanSkate program (levels 5 and 6).  This Program offers group lesson instruction that includes all the ice and coaching fees. The skater will be introduced to the fundamental skills necessary to begin either a recreational or competitive figure skating path. Skaters will be encouraged to practice their skills independently which is an important aspect of the future figure skating programs. There will be an on ice conditioning component (stroking) included.

If you are interested in private lessons in addition to the Canskate+ group lessons, you will need to make arrangements directly with a coach to discuss fees/ice time and policy information.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: Skates and mitts. A CSA Approved Helmet(No bike helmets) is mandatory until Level 5 has been completed.
