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, progessive 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.

The program focuses on development of six fundamental movements organized in six stages of learning, with an optional 7th level for skaters who want to move into figure skating. Once the skills on each stage are mastered, a badge is awarded.

Stage 1 – Balance
Stage 2 – Glide Forward
Stage 3 – Glide Backward
Stage 4 – Edges
Stage 5 – Power
Stage 6 – Speed
