SPECIAL OLYMPICS

The Kingston Silver Blades, Special Olympics Figure Skating Program, is offered at the Memorial Center on Saturdays from 11:00 am until 12:00 pm, running from October until March each year. We are a part of Skate Kingston as well as being registered with Skate Canada. Skaters with an intellectual or developmental disability are invited to skate with the Kingston Silver Blades. Skills are taught from the Skate Canada "CanSkate" program. All levels of skaters are welcome, from the beginner who has never skated before, up to and including competitive levels. Skaters have the opportunity to participate in the annual Regional Competition, which offers events for the beginner skater, as well as events for competitive skaters hoping to advance to Provincial, National and International Competitions.
