We are looking for sponsors to support our event
 
The club and skaters would be extremely grateful for sponsorship donations of any amount.  If you choose to sponsor our event, we will offer you recognition within our Ice Show program that will be available to all spectators and later visible on our club website. Depending on your specific donation amount we can offer you different levels of recognition. Please ask us for more details! It's a great way to advertise your business and spread awareness through the local community.

This invitation-only program is comprised of 4 to 9-year-old skaters who have auditioned or been identified by our coaching staff as having a natural talent for figure skating and runs concurrently with our Canskate and Fundamentals programs.   This means your skater will have the unique opportunity of working towards completing their Canskate badges and STAR 1 figure skating tests all in the same skating season.   STAR 1 is Skate Canada's first level of competitive figure skating and is geared toward skaters looking to progress in the sport.  

 

Spring Rising Stars runs once per week on Wednesday from 7:15-8:00pm.  All participants must also be enrolled in either a Canskate or Fundamentals session & wearing Figure Skates. 

 

We have a wonderful team of coaches from provincial to national levels who will be working on jumps, spins, stroking, and edges with these skaters in a challenging yet fun and engaging environment.  We have only a few spots remaining so we hope to see you there!  

The audition cost is $25 and will run concurrently with our regular Rising Stars session on *Wednesday, April 3rd* from 7:15-8pm. 

After the audition, skaters will receive an email with recommendations for spring.
