CANSKATE is Skate Canada's nationally standardized learn-to-skate program.  Led by Skate Canada Certified coaches and designed for beginners of all ages, the program focuses on basic skill development in an energetic, progressive and fun atmosphere.  

As Canada's official learn-to-skate program, CanSkate provides a pathway for skaters to enjoy skating recreationally, or go on to participate in ice sports such as figure skating, hockey and ringette.  

Skills learned are categorized within the CanSkate Fundamental Movements:  Go Forward, Go Backward, Stop, Turn, Spin and Jump.  Skaters progress from Stage 1 through Stage 7 in the program, earning badges, and other incentives along the way. Stage 7 is for skaters who want to move into figure skating.  

Stage 1 - Balance

Stage 2 - Glide Forward

Stage 3 - Glide Backward

Stage 4 - Edges

Stage 5 - Power

Stage 6 - Speed

Stage 7 (optional) - Pre-Preliminary
