CanSkate

CanSkate is wrapping up with the last session for the fall program ending as of December 22nd. It’s hard to believe that our fall session has come to an end already. All the skaters have improved so much, and the goal of our CanSkate team is for all skaters to enjoy the program, improve their skills and gain confidence on the ice.

As we enter the holiday season, the CanSkate team would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.

We would like to thank all our parents for their support throughout the fall program, our table volunteers for assisting at some of our sessions, the skaters for their hard-work and dedication to learning. Also a huge thank you goes out to our Program Assistants, as we can’t effectively run the program without you, and to the Professional CanSkate Coaching staff – You Rock!

We hope to see everyone back in the New Year to continue during our winter program.
Winter programming begins effective January 9, 2023.

Stay safe & healthy during the holidays and all the best for 2023!

Synchronicity

Our eight Synchronicity teams have been busy putting the finishing touches on their fabulous programs! Our first competition of the season was one that we hosted in Aylmer. Our Junior and Intermediate teams were part of the teams participating and they had a great first event! The Junior team then headed to Kalamazoo, Michigan the following weekend for a unique opportunity to skate in the US. Our Intermediate team travelled down the road to Montreal, Quebec on November 26th weekend and participated in the Patinage Nova annual competition. The girls had a little extra free time and did some sightseeing and walked around a Christmas market! We just finished up a big event in Brampton on the weekend of December 10 where five of our teams skated in the Synchro Series #2 competition. All teams had great skates and our Adult 1 team got a Silver medal! Congratulations to our skaters and coaches! On December 17, our Beginner team hosted their annual Holiday Showcase for their friends and family and this year included a special performance from our Junior team (see photo)!

Our season is not done yet! We have our annual Gala and Junior Nationals send off on Saturday January 7 at 3pm at Western Fair. Come out and enjoy our team performances! Stay tuned to hear about the second half of our season in the next newsletter!
