Updated: Oct. 30, 2012 Speed Skating Canada 2012-13 media guide Every time they step up we will too. While the podium is the finish for today’s athletes, it’s just the beginning for tomorrow’s. That’s why Intact Insurance has been a premier partner of Speed Skating Canada since 2006. Through our Podium Tracker program, we award $1000 to an amateur speed skating club each time one of Canada’s national speed skaters places on the podium. With more than $100,000 awarded over the past two seasons we’re excited to see how well our nation’s skaters will perform this year. Because of our Podium Tracker Program you never know who will be standing on the Podium tomorrow. ™ HOME • AUTO • BUSINESS Certain conditions, exclusions and restrictions may apply.
