Minto is helping out on the canal during Winterlude with people learning to skate. We need some help from volunteers with some of the administrative aspects of the event - handing out and collecting waiver forms and distributing information about our Club. The event is February 11th and 12th between 10:30AM and 4:00PM. If we get a lot of volunteers, the shifts will be shortened.

If you can help out, contact Darryl Van Luven.

We are offering a special, new beginners CanSkate class on the studio ice. This class will be held from 6:15pm to 7:05pm on Wednesday nights, February 22nd - April 25th 2012 (no skating March 14th – March Break).  Beginner adults are also welcome to join!
