The majority of the costs of running a skating club are the high fees for ice rental. The number of skaters on the StarSkate sessions are too few to cover ice costs so those programs are run at a loss. Without subsidization from the CanSkate income, we would not be able to run the StarSkate program. In appreciation of this subsidization, we request that each STARSkater over age of 11 donate a minimum of one hour per week (total 20 hours per year) to the CanSkate program as a Program Assistant.

Our Program Assistants are valuable members of our coaching staff and make the PreCanSkate and CanSkate session safer and more enjoyable for all the coaches and skaters. Many of our Program Assistants go on to train and become professional coaches themselves.

In support of our Program Assistant policy, effective September 2015 a refundable $100 StarSkate Program Assistant buyout will be charged at the beginning of each season as part of your registration fee (ages 11+). After completing your 20 volunteer hours, this subsidy will be refunded to the skater. If a skater chooses not to participate as a Program Assistant, then they will be considered to have “bought-out” their subsidization and no refund will be given. New StarSkaters who begin skating in January, 2019 will be prorated at $50 for the season with a 10 volunteer hour commitment for subsidy reimbursement.

Program Assisting qualifies for high school volunteer hours.
A letter of participation is prepared for each coaching assistant at the end of each season to present to their high school guidance offices.
