Please view the Pre Can / CanSkate tab in the drop down menu to learn more about each program. We hold sessions in Cochrane on Wednesday evenings and in Smooth Rock Falls on Saturday mornings for the 2024-25 season.
There are additional helmets beyond a 'hockey' helmet that are CSA approved, including the new Wuevo helmet specifically designed for young figure skaters. Click link for more details. Another new helmet on the market is the Bold helmet, which is currently in the process of receiving its CSA designation. Right now, if a skater wishes to use the Bold helmet, they must apply in writing to Skate Canada for an exception.
**Stage 5 is the minimum standard required by Skate Canada; CFSC requires helmet use until the completion of the CanSkate program.
