IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • Arrival: Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to get your child ready for the lesson. The Skate Room, located on the south side of the Community Hall, has a washroom and space for changing into skates.
  • Cancellation Policy: Lessons will be canceled if the temperature or wind chill is -20°C or below at 9:00 am, or if ice conditions are poor. You’ll be notified by email if lessons are cancelled, with rescheduled sessions on or after February 23rd, 2025. No refunds will be issued.
  • Parent Attendance: For the New to Skating group (ages 3-5), a parent must be on the ice with their child. For all other groups, parents are required to stay nearby (in the Skate Room or rinkside) during lessons. There are no “drop-offs” permitted.

Snacks & Warm-Up

On the first day, IF there are parent volunteers to help, we’ll provide hot chocolate and Timbits! We encourage parent volunteers to help continue this treat throughout the program. Please bring snacks and water for your child.

Waiver

While we take all precautions possible, there are inherent risks involved in putting your child in skating lessons. Please be aware that by signing the consent form, you are absolving the Wildwood Community Association and anyone else involved in the Learn-to-Skate program from any liability.
