Hello families,

We hope that you’ve all had a nice summer!  We’d like to update parents from last season’s Pre-CanSkate,  CanSkate and JumpStart programs on the status of the 2020/21 season.  Currently, the Multiplex is closed and not anticipating opening again until September 24^th, earliest. 

In order to return to skating, each program requires protocol approval from both Skate Canada and ProtectNWT.  We are working through the process but expect that the soonest start date for CanSkate and JumpStart will be October 1^st. 

Due to capacity restrictions and physical distancing requirements, we will not be able to run our Pre-CanSkate program this season.    

At present, based on facility capacity restrictions, parents are not able to be in the arena to assist or watch their skater(s).  Due to this restriction, our Coaches are establishing a minimum skill level and age to safely participate this season. 

Some skaters will be receiving emails from our Coaches over the next few weeks recommending a switch to a new program based on last season’s progression.  For some of you, that may mean an earlier start than October 1^st if your skater will be moving from the JumpStart program into the Test Stream program.   Those skaters will start the season at the YK Arena. 

We’ll update once our plans are approved and registration criteria has been established. 

Stay healthy!
