Skate Canada is currently searching for a host city for several events. These events would be organized and executed by Skate Canada in collaboration with the Local Organizing Committee.
Hosting a Skate Canada event requires a strong partnership between the Skate Canada Section, the venue and the local municipality. Although any group is encouraged to submit a “Proposal to Host”, all three partners must endorse the Proposal.
The Letter of Endorsement may be co-signed or may be three separate endorsements from:
- Skate Canada Section Office – See Appendix F for contact information
- Venue Owner / Operator (a completed and signed Appendix B)
- Host Municipality / Tourism
