Skate Canada’s Board of Directors is made up of 12 elected individuals. Per the Skate Canada bylaws, the Board has the authority to appoint additional directors. Overall governance, direction setting, strategic planning and strategic monitoring and evaluation are established by the Board of Directors and communicated to the Sections from the National Service Centre. The board meets throughout the year and major policy decisions are taken to the wider membership of the organization through Skate Canada’s Annual General Meeting.
