Fee Increase 2023-2024

As most of our clubs and skating schools are winding down for the season, we want to congratulate everyone on another successful skating season and provide you with some important information regarding next season’s fee structure.
Skate Canada’s mission is to be a leader in the delivery of quality skating programs and continuously develop champions. In order to achieve this goal, it is critical that quality programs are developed and executed by Skate Canada, our clubs, skating schools and coaches. This is facilitated in part, through the collection of a fee from all those who participate. The registrant and coach fees are shared between Skate Canada and our Sections in carrying out our respective objectives.
A commitment to good governance and financial responsibility is at the heart of what we do. Skate Canada has worked hard to reduce costs and other expenditures to keep skating accessible but like other organizations over the last years we have been impacted by external factors beyond our control. Given these impacts and in order to accomplish our collective goals, Skate Canada would like to advise of the following fees changes for the 2023-2024 registration season:

Registrant Fee Changes:

  • Skate Canada Registrant Fee: The Skate Canada portion of the registrant fee will increase to $28.
  • Section Registrant Fee: The Section portion of the registrant fee will increase to $25.
  • Safe Sport Fee: Creating a safe and inclusive environment remains a priority for Skate Canada and the cost to support this program has increased significantly without a fee increase since the program’s inception in 2016-2017. The Safe Sport fee will increase to $5 per registrant
