What is CanSkate and who is it for?

CanSkate is Skate Canada's learn-to-skate program, designed for beginners of all ages, including children, adults and athletes with disabilities. Skaters learn basic skating skills that carry over to figure skating, hockey, ringette or speed skating, with a focus on balance, control and agility, plus fitness and fun.

It uses a nationally tested curriculum, is led by NCCP-certified coaches and is offered by Skate Canada clubs and skating schools across Canada. The program must be called CanSkate and use the official logo.
