Adult
skating is growing in popularity and more
and more clubs are offering recreational,
test and competitive opportunities to
this segment of the population. Adults
participate in CanSkate, STARSkate and
CanPowerSkate programs as well as on synchronized

provide opportunities to adult skaters
to experience the challenge of a competition
in a fun, social environment. Skate Canada
is currently expanding its programming
in this area. |
