From coast-to-coast-to-coast, dedicated individuals help shape and strengthen Canada’s skating community every day. Whether volunteering at events, leading within their clubs and schools, or upholding standards of excellence, these members play an essential role in enriching our sport and communities nationwide.

Skate Canada is proud to recognize the outstanding contributions of volunteers, clubs, skating schools, and sport leaders with the 2026 Skate Canada National Awards, honouring 20 recipients across three award categories. Representing the very best of Canada’s skating community, these individuals and organizations continue to make a meaningful and lasting impact both on and off the ice.
