CLUB AND MEMBERSHIP
Festivals on Ice
As part of the celebrations leading up to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver British Columbia, Speed Skating Canada would like to assist clubs, provincial/territorial branches and communities in celebrating their love of winter sport and skating by launching a program called Festivals on Ice.
The intent of the Festivals on Ice program is to provide an opportunity for people of all ages to come together in a fun, safe and welcoming environment and experience the pure joy of skating. Speed skating is racing on skates and Speed Skating Canada’s goal is to provide an opportunity to all Canadians to experience skating and the thrill of racing on skates in its many forms.
The concept is to encourage speed skating clubs and community groups across the country to host local celebrations that encourage the general public to join them for a day of skating, regardless of whether people use hockey skates, figure skates or speed skates.
Each speed skating Club and Branch has been provided a Festivals on Ice Kit with contains resources to assist you in hosting a Festivals on Ice celebration activity. The Club and Membership Development Committee (CMDC) is pleased to announce that additional support is available to clubs hosting activities in the way of a Festivals on Ice Host Grant program
The Festival on Ice Program will be distributing five (5) one-thousand ($1,000) grants to clubs hosting a Festivals on Ice activity. We encourage you to join us in this exciting program by submitting an application.
