Skate Lakeshore will welcome figure skaters from across Ontario as it hosts its first Provincial Series Competition February 14 – 16, 2025.

“The Skate Ontario Provincial Series is a figure skating competition series that allows athletes to qualify for the Skate Ontario Provincial Championships,” explains Sarah Malott, Skate Lakeshore Chair. “We are so excited to have been selected as a first-time host for one of these events, which will allow skaters from across Ontario to compete at this local competition.”

The Municipality of Lakeshore is pleased to be the host community for this event. 

“On behalf of Lakeshore’s communities, we are thrilled to welcome figures skaters from across Ontario as they compete for a spot at the Provincial Championships. Thank you to the hardworking members of Skate Lakeshore who helped to bring this event to our municipality. We hope that all skaters, along with family, friends, coaches, and volunteers who make their participation possible, can enjoy all that our municipality has to offer,” said Lakeshore Mayor Tracey Bailey.

Skate Lakeshore is also looking to the local community to help fulfil the many volunteer opportunities associated with hosting an event of this size.
