About

General Information

The Port Perry Skating Club is a non-profit organization approved by Skate Canada. It is administered by parent volunteers to serve the needs of the skaters, our children. It is expected that parents and older skaters volunteer some time or experience to the Club’s ventures. Please send us an email if you are interested in volunteering! Our club is as strong as its volunteers and is getting stronger all the time.

All programs are subject to minimum and maximum enrollments, and subject to cancellation or changes in requirements. You will be notified of any changes to program schedules. Certain programs and the annual Carnival are subject to age restrictions.

Annual Carnival – Ice Show

Our year-end Carnival will be held the final week of our skating program. Skaters of all levels are included and encouraged to participate.  Carnival rehearsals will be help the week prior to the event. Details will be available on the News and Events webpage closer to the carnival date.

Cancellation of Ice Due to Test Days and Weather

Annual General Meeting

The club’s Annual General Meeting is held in April each year. Please watch the club’s home web page under News and Events for the actual date/time/location. This meeting is your chance to hear from the club’s executive regarding the previous year’s season. Nominations will also be accepted from individuals to serve on the following year’s executive and to have input to the skating programs being offered.

Program Assistants

Program Assistants are Intermediate or Senior skaters who assist our club coaches during CanSkate and PreCanskate programs. PAs provide coaching assistance to groups or to individual skaters, and also act as role models to our young skaters. Training will be provided. Students can earn community service hours as PAs. If interested, please speak to the Canskate Coordinator or an executive member.

Volunteer Opportunities

There will be a number of volunteer opportunities throughout the season where your participation is critical to the success of the club. Session reps will be required to send out information and act as a communication point between parents, coaches and the executive team. The end of season carnival – ice show- also has a number of volunteer opportunities. Please watch the newsletter and bulletin boards throughout the season. We are counting on you!

Code of Conduct Policy

Any skater who displays inappropriate behaviour on or off the ice will be asked to leave the arena at the discretion of the Coach, PPSC Executive or arena staff. A skater who continues to display inappropriate behaviour will be permanently removed from the program.

Guest Skating

Guest skaters are only permitted from Skate Canada coaches affiliated with our club if all the needs of the registered skaters on that session have been met (had their music played and received their lesson). Guest skaters must be at the skill level of the other skaters on the ice. During particularly crowded group sessions, the Club reserves the right to limit the time and ice area, which may be used for private lessons. Skate Canada members must receive Club permission to access the ice surface during a Club Session they have neither registered nor paid for. Permission requests are made through the Guest Skating Coordinator, through the club email, at least 24 hours in advance. Any one skater may guest skate a maximum of 10 times per season. Guest skating fee is $20 per hour* for Club members. Non-members of our Skating Club will be charged a skater’s guest fee of $30 per hour*.  Please use the link below to pay for guest skating in Uplifter.
