Our Programs
Pre-CanSkate
Pre-CanSkate is designed for beginner skaters ages 3 to 5. During fun, 40-minute sessions, skaters will learn the fundamental skills needed to become confident on the ice, including how to get up safely, maintain balance, glide forward, move backward, and stop. Once these foundational skills have been mastered, skaters will begin working on CanSkate Stages 1 and 2 while continuing to skate with the Pre-CanSkate group, helping them build confidence and prepare for the full CanSkate program.
Approved CSA helmets are required while on the ice.
CanSkate
CanSkate is Skate Canada’s dynamic learn-to-skate program that emphasizes fun, participation, and the development of fundamental skating skills. Based on Sport Canada’s Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) principles, CanSkate focuses on building physical literacy and the essential skating skills needed for participation in any ice sport or for recreational skating.
The program is designed for beginner skaters ages 6 and older, as well as children ages 3–5 who have successfully completed CanSkate Stage 2 in the Pre-CanSkate program. Through engaging group instruction, skaters progress at their own pace while developing confidence, balance, control, and agility on the ice.
Approved CSA helmets are required while on the ice.
Advance CanSkate
This program is designed for skaters who have completed CanSkate Stage 3 (or are skating at a similar level) and have shown a strong interest in continuing their skating development. It serves as a bridge between the CanSkate and STARSkate programs, helping skaters build the skills and confidence needed before entering STARSkate after completing all six CanSkate stages.
Approved CSA helmets are required while on the ice.
FAST Track
This invite-only program is designed for skaters who are interested in figure skating and have passed CanSkate Stage 4 (or are skating at a similar level). As an accelerated pathway into our STARSkate program, it provides talented and dedicated skaters with the opportunity to train multiple days per week through our Advanced CanSkate curriculum, helping them develop the skills needed for a successful transition to figure skating.
Approved CSA helmets are required while on the ice.
