From BC/YK Section of Skate Canada ########################### BC/YK Section 2020/2021 Season Competition & Assessment Update Hello Everyone, ... As we look ahead to the 2020-2021 season, we wanted to provide you with an update on the BC/YK Section competitions for this season. There are several factors to consider when determining the possibility of a competition. These include: Current government restrictions (i.e. gathering size, physical distancing etc.) Our ability to follow all protocol requirements set out by public health, the municipality and the facility The comfort of volunteers running a competition at this time Skater preparation given possible adjusted training timelines this season With all these factors to consider, we have the following announcements to make regarding Skate Canada BC/YK Section tentative competition schedule for this season: All Regional competitions that were to be held in November and December 2020 are cancelled. This includes the following events: Vancouver Island Interclub Competition-November 20-22, 2020 Jingle Blades-November 20-22, 2020 Okanagan Interclub-November 27-29, 2020 West Kootenay Invitational-December 4-6, 2020 Kla How Ya-December 4-6, 2020 Our hope is that each Region will have one competition in either January or February if allowed by the Provincial and Local Health Authorities. More information will come in the fall regarding these events. It is our plan to run Autumn Leaves and the BC/YK Sectional Championships. These competitions will be for the competitive(Pre-Juvenile-Senior) categories only and will be held either in person or virtually. This is dependent on anticipated approval by Provincial and Local Health Authorities. It is our plan for STARSkate Competitions to commence in January. More information to come on these events. We are still working on a plan for Synchro Competitions and this communication will be distributed when more information on how Synchro Competitions can run is available. We are awaiting the launch of Phase 3 for Sports from viaSport. We are anticipating Phase 3 will have information that will allow for assessments to resume in September. Once Phase 3 has been release we will update our Return to Figure Skating Guideline to include how and when these assessments and competitions may resume. We appreciate everyone's patience during these times as we work to getting skating resumed in the BC/YK Section. If you have any questions please send them to [email protected]

Amelie skates out of Kamloops Skating Club and is progressing quickly. She needed to upgrade her gear to get her to the next level. We fitted her with very lightly used pair of Fusion Freestyle skates by Jackson Ultima Skates and she is good to go!! Congratulations Amelie!!

Starskate Families you should have received a email about the upcoming summer ice times, if you have not please let us know.Starskate Families you should have received a email about the upcoming summer ice times, if you have not please let us know.

We would like to Congratulate Victoria Warner on graduating from Norkam Secondary School. Victoria has skated with our club since she was 5 years old. She has been our volunteer with the most PA sessions of all our PAs for the last few years. She is a role model to our younger skaters. She has been a very dedicated skater to her training. We look forward to seeing her continuing to grow as a skater and a Canskate coach in future years. We know that her dedication to whatever she does on and off the ice will bring her future successes.

We would like to Congratulate Lily Hawley on graduating from Valleyview Secondary School. Lily joined our club just over a year ago, but it felt like she was part of the KSC family right away, she was a great volunteer with our Canskaters and a role model for our younger skaters. We want to wish Lily success in all her future endeavors, with her dedication we are sure she will do amazing things.

Starskate Families please check your email.Starskate Families please check your email.

Skate Canada BC/YK will be hosting a Facebook Live Town Hall, tomorrow Wednesday June 3 at 7pm. Check out the video for all the details. The session will be recorded and posted for those unable to attend.
