Our Special Olympics Program

The Northern Skating Academy's Special Olympics skating program aims to offer sessions for skaters with disabilities to enjoy the sport of skating in a supportive and encouraging environment. Our program is currently designed as a modified Skate Canada CanSkate Learn to Skate program. We offer more on-on-one on session and reduced environmental stimulation. We hope to expand our program in the coming years to support our athletes in any on ice sport: figure skating, hockey and sledge hockey, ringette, speed skating, and just skating for the love of it!
