  • Fundraising Opportunities
    Fundraising Opportunities Hello, The CBS Skating Club is busy preparing for our 42nd Annual Ice Show scheduled to be held in the Conception Bay South Arena on Saturday, March 31st, 2018. This year’s theme is “Come Fly with Us”. Our club has celebrated many achievements this year and can’t wait to showcase them to our community! The show highlights all skaters from our very youngest to those in our STAR and competitive streams. With the inclusion of upwards of 250 skaters from St. John’s to CBS to Carbonear, the club plans to highlight the accomplishments of every one of our skaters as much as possible. With a seating capacity of approximately 1000 seats, the Conception Bay South Arena proves to be the perfect location to hold this event. We are also very excited to have 2 guest skaters performing in our show this year, Elladj Balde and Liam Firus. Elladj’s natural showmanship always brings the crowd to their feet, and his love for skating for the audience is evident. At this year’s 2018 Canadian Championships, Elladj stole the hearts of Canadians with his show stopping final performance at Canadians that earned him a standing ovation and being called “Masterful” by the CBC. Elladj won the junior silver medal at the 2007 Canadian Championships and won the junior title at the 2008 Canadian Championships. During the 2008–09 season, he won a pair of medals on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series. In recent years, Elladj won the 2015 Nebelhorn Trophy, an ISU Challenger Series event.

This year, for the 28th time, the PRIX EUROPA will gather the cream of the crop of European media. From all over the continent, people who share the same passion for television, radio and web will come to Berlin to compete against each other, and so pay testament to the dynamism of European public broadcasting. However, the strength of the festival goes beyond the competition itself. Its real virtue is that it gets young and old from different cultures, religions and languages communicating with and learning from each other. What’s more, this sort of collaboration helps us to understand each other – and that is of crucial moral, civil, social and cultural value in the turbulent world of the moment. I look forward to this exceptional event and to meeting you there. Yours sincerely, Roger de Weck PRIX EUROPA President Director General of Schweizerische Radio- und Fernsehgesellschaft - SRG SSR Welcome to Berlin, where PRIX EUROPA has built its home - with good reason. It is a city where ideas count more than high salaries, imagination defeats protocol, and talent can find space to develop.
