Skate Canada Membership
Each skater who registers with the Glen Cairn Skating Club is required to pay a non-refundable Skate Canada membership fee as part of their registration. This fee, set by the Skate Canada's National Board of Directors, is payable once per skating year (September 1 - August 31), and is not pro-rated at any time. Membership to Skate Canada entitles your skater to a unique Skate Canada membership number which grants you access to the Members Only section of the Skate Canada web site www.skatecanada.ca.
