My child doesn't like skating lessons... can I get a refund?

NO REFUNDS will be issued at any point once registration has been completed. Only refund requests submitted to a member of the Board in writing, along with a doctor's note explaining why the skater can not continue in the program will be considered. All refunds will be calculated as follows:

• Amount paid less the Skate Canada Fee and Administration Fee
• Less ice time up to the date the request for refund is received

BUT, the registration says "withdrawal date by . . ." The withdrawal date is for Club use only and does not reflect when skaters can leave the program and expect a refund.

BUT, my child doesn't like skating lessons. We have limited spaces in our Learn-to-Skate programs and when you registered in the program we reserved a space for your child.

JUST give my child's spot in the program to a waitlisted skater. It's not that simple, once lessons have started we often can not fill the spot, as parents/guardians of waitlisted skaters have made other arrangements and are no longer available for lessons.

What is the Skate Canada Fee?

The Skate Canada Fee is charged by Skate Canada and collected by NTDSC for insurance. Skate Canada Fee is a yearly subscription and is active from September to August and is only charged once during this time period. We exclude the Skate Canada Fee from our program fees so that you do not get charged twice or even three times if you enroll in Fall and Winter, or Spring skating.

What is the Admin Fee?

Back To Top

The Admin Fee is charged by NTDSC in lieu of fund raising activities. NTDSC won't ask you to pester your family and friends by selling them chocolates, or magazine subscription.

Can my child wear a bicycle helmet or skiing helmet?

Absolutely NOT! Skate Canada Safe Sport policy states that ALL participants in Skate Canada programs wear a CSA Approved Hockey Helmet. Only individuals who have passed CanSkate Level 6 may remove their helmets while on the ice.

What should I dress my child in for skating lessons?

Arena's are COLD. Dress your child in winter appropriate clothing.

• Snow pants or insulated water resistant Splash pants
• Winter coats
• Water resistant ski style not "woolen" or fluffy mittens. Woolen style mittens absorb water and leave debris on the ice surface (debris on the ice surface may cause a trip/fall hazard)
