Skate Canada (and its predecessor) has been in existence since 1887, and is an association dedicated to enabling every Canadian to participate in skating throughout their lifetime for fun, fitness, and/or achievement. It initiates and develops many programs in support of every level of skating, from the Canadian "grass roots" local skating club to international world levels, including development and training of elite skaters, skating judges, accountants and paid coaches. Skate Canada has hosted World Figure Skating Championships and is one of the largest figure skating governing bodies in the world. It is organized into 13 regional sections: one for each province, and 4 in Ontario (Northern, Central, Western and Eastern).

Our Club is in the Eastern Ontario Section (EOS), which stretches from Deep River, to Ottawa, Kingston, and Oshawa. EOS is further divided into 6 Regions, of which we are in Region 6 (including Deep River, Nepean, Pembroke, Eganville, Barry's Bay, Renfrew and Amprior). Part of your Club Registration fee includes an individual Skate Canada membership fee paid to Skate Canada, and a skater development levy paid to Skate Canada Eastern Ontario. These fees help Skate Canada provide support to skaters, skating volunteers, coaches, and Clubs by various means such as workshops and clinics.
