Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier – 2021 World Bronze Medalists Upcoming Projects Rebound to Skating This ongoing group of activities has been developed to ensure member clubs and skating schools have the skills, tools and resources necessary to recover from the pandemic, become stronger and increase participation in skating in the coming years. Below are the first three initiatives: 1. Club/Skating School Assistance Grant Program • With support from the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries, Skate Ontario is providing this opportunity for member clubs/skating schools to apply for a grant to help off-set some of the financial burden brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2. Skate Canada Ice Summit – Club/Skating School Delegate Support • This year, Skate Ontario will reimburse each Ontario club/school for one (1) delegate registration fee as our support for Ontario participation at this year’s event.

3. Programs and Marketing Club Support • This comprehensive program will assist clubs to get ready for a return to skating as we exit the pandemic. This will help to re-engage the pre-pandemic membership and work towards growing our membership looking forward.
