2013 Sports Day in Canada

Calling all skating clubs across Canada — it’s time to lace up your skates and get ready to show off our sport! On Saturday, November 30, 2013 communities across Canada will be participating in Sports Day in Canada.

Sports Day in Canada is a national celebration of sport, from grassroots to high-performance and is an opportunity for all Canadians to celebrate the power of sport, build community and national spirit and facilitate healthy, active living.

Skate Canada wants to encourage you to get your club and community involved by hosting a Sports Day in Canada event. Your event could take place anytime from November 23-30 and could be a variety of different activities, including, a try-it day, registration, open house, gala, competition, meet-and-greet, or community-wide festival! The options are unlimited!

Together with the festivities that week on Friday, November 29, Sports Day in Canada will host a national jersey day. Show your love and support for skating by wearing your Skate Canada gear!
