Rinks across the province are bustling with activity as our skating season begins. Whether you’re lacing up your skates for the first time or returning for another exciting year, a warm welcome to you from Speed Skating BC!

We’re more than just a sport – we’re a community, and we’re excited to have you join us. Whether you’re here to skate, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines, there’s a place for everyone. We encourage you to get involved in any way that feels right for you – help with fundraising at your local club, learn how to time a competition, or simply be a supportive presence at practices by putting on mats. Every role makes a difference, and together we are building an inclusive and safe environment where everyone feels they belong.

Throughout the season, you’ll find many ways to connect, learn, and participate. From grassroots inter-club racing to inspiring national competitions, each event offers the chance to create lasting memories. We’re all here to support each other – skaters, volunteers, coaches, and officials – and every moment will be an unforgettable experience, whether you’re on the ice or behind the scenes.

We can’t wait to see you at the rink – skating fast, skating safe, and most importantly, skating together as a community for life.
