Ice Palace Programs: CanSkate

CanSkate is Skate Canada's flagship learn-to-skate program, designed for beginners of all ages. Skaters 4 years old to adults are taught in a small group by an NCCP certified professional coach.  Skaters progress at their own rate and coaches make sessions active using teaching aids, music and a wide variety of activities that create a fun environment and promote learning. CanSkate is the feeder program to all other Skate Canada programs.
