CanSkate was developed by experts to teach the fundamentals of skating in a progressive manner. Designed for beginners of all ages, the focus is on fun, participation and basic skills development. Participants earn badges as skills are mastered. Skaters are taught in a group lesson format by an NCCP-Certified Professional Coach, assisted by trained Program Assistants (PAs). CanSkate is the development program to all other Skate Canada skating programs. 

Skate Yorkton offers a selection of high caliber learn-to-skate programs that provide a solid foundation in skating fundamentals to aspiring young hockey players, speed skaters and recreational skaters alike.

It is the mission of our Club that these programs are offered in a positive and fun atmosphere that all can enjoy
