Carleton Place Skating Club

"Fostering the artistic creativity of our children through the art of skating"

SKATING IS FOR LIFE!

The Carleton Place Skating would like to thank BMO Financial Group for their generous donation

to Skater Development. The funds will be put to great use next season.

The Carleton Place Figure Skating Club's mission is to provide the programs and facilities for each individual to achieve physical and emotional well-being by reaching personal goals in a fun, safe, equitable and positive environment.

This mission can only be successful if all skaters, parents, coaches, officials and Club executives involved in the sport of skating share this common vision and understand their respective role to create and commit to a positive learning environment. However, it is the actions of each stakeholder that ultimately contribute to or undermine the existence of a positive staking environment. The onus of establishing and maintaining appropriate behavior in the pursuit of this worthwhile objective falls on and must be accepted by the leaders in our sport. At our Club these people are coaches, Club executives and officials.

The Carleton Place Skating Club is the vehicle through which Skate Canada programs are delivered to the skaters. With the exception of the coaches, the people who run our club are volunteers. Please become acquainted with the members of the Executive Committee. Also try to help out at test days, Club competition, for fundraising and other activities. We are always looking for volunteers to help in many aspects of the club's function.
