We have one novice coach who will work with you to deliver the CanSkate program, and two or three StarSkaters who may be available as Program Assistants.

Our season starts in early October and runs through to early March. CanSkate sessions are held on Monday and Thursday afternoons; Primary StarSkate on Thursday afternoons and Sunday evenings; and StarSkate sessions are scheduled for Tuesday afternoons, Wednesday mornings, Friday mornings, and Sunday evenings (StarSkate schedule subject to change depending on numbers of skaters registered).
