This page explains each program and where to register depending on the season.
Learn to Skate
Our Learn to Skate program teaches foundational skating skills in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. We offer several levels to support skaters of all ages and abilities
Parent & Tot (Age 2+)
A beginner class that allows one parent or guardian on the ice with their child. Perfect for very young skaters who need hands‑on support and confidence building.
Buddies on Blades (Age 3-4)
An assisted beginner class focused on comfort, balance, and getting familiar with the ice. Ideal for skaters who are brand new or need extra support.
Pre-CanSkate & CanSkate (Age 5-10)
Our main Learn to Skate pathway for children. These programs follow the Skate Canada curriculum and teach balance, movement, forward and backward skating, stopping, turning, and early edge skills.
Teen CanSkate (Age 11-17)
A dedicated CanSkate class designed specifically for teen beginners or teens returning to skating. This program is separate from our youth CanSkate groups.
