Skate Canada Fees

All skaters must be members of Skate Canada. This involves an annual fee as set by Skate Canada. The 2023/24 Fee is set at $60.00. Your membership is valid September 1st - August 31st every year. The fee will automatically be added into your total when you register for the 2023/24 skating year.

Registration fees for each program can be found on our Registration Page.

Semi-Private and Private Lesson

All STARSkate registrants follow by the STAR Stream Assessment model and you are agreeing to incur the cost of Junior/Intermediate/Senior STARSkate lessons provided to your STARSkate by individually contracted Professional Coach(es) within Akasaka Figure Skating Club. These Lessons are invoiced privately by each contactor separate from Registration Fees charged by AFSC.

Testing & Assessments

If you have been contacted by a Coach to indicate that your skater is being tested for a STAR skills, free skate (also freeskate, free skating) or dance level, you are required to prepay the testing fee prior to the assessment being completed. This fee is collected by Skate Canada, and is the responsibility of the skater.

Cancellations and Refunds

• The Skate Canada fee is non-refundable.
• Full refunds will be provided within the first 2 weeks after the skating start date
