Investing in the Future
 

Skate Canada - Saskatchewan will be recognized as a leader in the delivery of skating programs for lifelong fun, fitness and personal achievement.

The revenue budget of the Skate Canada – Saskatchewan is dependent on grants from Saskatchewan Lotteries, membership fees, sales of merchandise, seminar fees and the annual fundraising project, the “Skaters’ Lottery”.  No other funds are realized from any government department.

Do you remember lacing up your skates for the first time?  Remember the feeling you had when you stepped onto the ice. Not only has skating provided you with a healthier and happier lifestyle, but has provided wonderful experiences, opportunities, friendships, life long memories and personal development skills such as time management, goal setting and problem solving.  These are values that build people, communities and our province.

Investing in the Future has been established by Skate Canada – Saskatchewan to generate new funds that will ensure financial needs for existing programs, but more importantly, to develop and expand new challenges for our future best skaters in Saskatchewan communities.

The experience is worth sharing.
