Who, What, When, Where and How

Session are 1 hour & 30 mins, twice a week. 45 minutes on STARSkate sessions, 45 minutes on CanSkate Sessions. Lesson fees are included in registration fees.
Proper equipment is essential to success! Please ensure that your skater is dressed properly for skating. Avoid clothing that has anything dangling that could get caught on other skaters, stuck under skates or fall off. All skaters must wear a CSA approved helmet until they complete Stage 5. Having properly fitting skates are the most important piece of equipment, they should be snug but not too tight and blades should be sharpened once a month or 2 months if they aren't used often.
