Skate Ontario Club Consultation Workshops
The Skate Ontario Club Consultation Program initiative is funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation with the intention to reach all of the Ontario clubs (360) with the focus on delivering innovative and pertinent workshops to the clubs or nearby communities. A survey was sent out to all Ontario clubs through Skate Canada e-mail blasts with the goal to solicit feedback from the clubs to understand their concerns and to determine the gaps and/or weakness or if they were looking for new ways to rejuvenate or start up programs. The objective is to reach out to clubs both rural and urban, and provide them support and information sharing from the expert club consultants in the field. Workshops have been conducted at twenty-five locations throughout Ontario during the spring and summer of 2016.
Skate Ontario would like to recognize the following clubs that attended the Club Consultation Workshop. These clubs are recognized on the Skate Ontario Club Honour Roll for effective LTAD.
