Learn to Skate!
We offer three programs for the beginner skater: Parent and Tot, Pre-CanSkate, and CanSkate. Our programs are delivered by a professional, Skate Canada-accredited coach, together with our assistant coaches and program assistants (intermediate-level and above club skaters). After-school skating classes give kids a great opportunity to be active and have fun through our long winters in the valley.

Have awesome fun on the ice with your little one while they learn to skate!
Each child attends class with a parent or guardian (18+ years of age). Lessons are coach-led with a focus on having fun while learning basic skills on the ice. Music, fun props, parachutes (and more) are used to get you and your little person moving!
After the 6-week program, there is an option for your skater to continue on in our Pre-CanSkate beginner program (a non-parented program) one or two days per week (your choice), with registration fees for that program prorated.
Both participants (parent and tot) must wear a CSA-certified hockey helmet while on the ice.
