• Bridging Bridging -  runs October to March
  
  Bridging is a program designed to help your skater take the next step toward the Skate Canada's StarSkate program.  This group of advanced CanSkaters has 2 - 1 hour group lessons weekly plus an 1 1/2 hours of ice time weekly to practice individually and/or received private lessons.  These skaters learn skills from the CanSkate program badges 4 to 7and still earn these badges while incorporating an opportunity to learn programs (or routines) and compete if they wish. Coaches will focus on improving the fundamentals of skating forwards, backwards, turning, stopping, spinning and jumping.
  
  Skaters are suggested for placement in this program by club coaches and may move from the CanSkate program at any time during the year.
  Bridging registration is found on our StarSkate registration form
