Canskate Program
Canskate Program
Our Canskate program is for skaters aged 5 and up, or available to Pre-Canskate graduates. This is a 10 week program in which skaters will learn basic skills and ice safety. If you have ever been to an event at Oceanside Place, you know that the equipment for emerging skaters is not enough to accommodate all the unsteady users that require their support. Help your child's confidence on skates and help them find their feet! Our trained staff will give your little one the skills they need to step onto the ice with confidence. We want your skater to be prepared when they step on the ice, please see the frequently asked questions below.
