Motivate 2 Skate
Motivate 2 Skate is a FREE program created to help international post-secondary students, elementary-aged students, and new Canadians learn one of Canada's most enjoyed pastimes - ice skating! With the support of experienced instructors, we are providing the opportunity to learn the basic skills needed to help you skate with confidence in a safe space. YNCU provides a pair of skates and a helmet for the duration of the program. Motivate 2 Skate aims to provide a fun and rewarding learning experience.
Thank you to all the participants and volunteers who made our Motivate 2 Skate program a huge success. We are overwhelmed by the response and can't wait to bring Motivate 2 Skate to more communities in the near future.

Motivate 2 Skate 4 Girls is a new initiative under the Motivate 2 Skate program, created in honor of Debbie Sims, who dedicated nearly 40 years to YNCU. Debbie was passionate about hockey, empowering girls in sport, and leading with kindness and compassion. This version of the program focuses on providing young girls with the opportunity to learn ice skating alongside experienced instructors and supportive mentors, helping to build confidence both on and off the ice.
Motivate 2 Skate 4 Girls is a free program that offers skates, helmets, and a safe space for girls to explore one of Debbie’s favourite sports. The evening will also include pizza, hot chocolate, photo booth, friendship bracelet station, and more!
