Why do I have to pay a Skate Canada membership fee?
All skaters participating in our programs are required to have an annual Skate Canada membership. The membership fee is $64.70 and is non-refundable and non-transferable.
The membership year runs from September 1 to August 31, and you only pay the membership fee once per membership year, regardless of how many sessions you register for.
Your Skate Canada membership provides several benefits, including:
- Accident Insurance: Membership includes coverage through Skate Canada's Member Accident Insurance Program for injuries sustained during sanctioned skating activities.
- Certified Coaching: It supports programs delivered by coaches who are trained through Skate Canada's National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP).
- Testing & Competitions: Membership provides access to Skate Canada's testing system and allows skaters to participate in sanctioned competitions and other Skate Canada activities.
- Program Standards: It allows clubs to offer Skate Canada programs such as CanSkate and STARSkate within Skate Canada's nationally recognized programming and standards.
In short: The membership is required for participation in Skate Canada programs and helps provide skaters with insurance coverage, qualified coaching, standardized programming, and access to Skate Canada activities.
