CANSKATE/POWERSKATE FALL REGISTRATIONS WILL CLOSE NEXT WEEK

posted Oct 1, 2016, 11:22 PM

Our CanSkate/PowerSkate programs are reaching or have reached capacity and registration will close down next week. If you have a friend or neighbour that expressed interest, please remind them to register asap.

Winter CanSkate/PowerSkate is already open. Historically this fills up very quickly, some classes can be full by early November. Don't be disappointed, register now! If your skater will qualify for CanSkate from Pre-CanSkate after the fall session is over (ie, they passed all levels of Stage 1 in their December report card), we will change them from Pre-CanSkate to CanSkate in our registration system. But they MUST already be registered for Winter Pre-CanSkate. Please don't let that hold you back from registering now.
