CanSkate
CanSkate is Skate Canada’s flagship learn-to-skate program, designed for kids that have completed the PreCanSkate program or equivalent. CanSkate is a program that focuses on fun, participation and basic skill development. Your child will earn badges and other incentives as they learn fundamental skating skills. Skaters progress at their own rate through active sessions that utilize 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 Skating programs.

Star Prep
Star Prep skaters are part of the CanSkate learn to skate program. Working on the higher stages of balance, control and agility these skaters are learning more advanced skating skills. Lessons are given in a group format and led by a NCCP certified professional coach. These lessons are made to help transition the skaters out of CanSkate and prepare the skaters to advance into the StarSkate program.
