Tickets are $40 per person and include a buffet with chicken, pasta, vegetables, dessert, coffee, tea and soft drinks. Awards will be distributed to the top skater, the most improved skater and best sportsmanship in each group. To register for the gala on IceReg, please go to:

Registration dealine is Friday April 22.
Two volunteers are also needed to check-in families at the front entrance, please contact president@calgaryspeedskating.ca.
Coupons in lieu of Oval Refunds:
Due to the administrative burden of trying to issue refunds to hundreds of families, coupons are being offered to members to help offset the cost of the awards gala. CSSA used a large part of the Oval refund to pay for additional costs of renting ice at the Seton YMCA and the Red Deer outdoor Oval as well as the extension of the season for skaters (mostly those participating at Youth Championships). Some families were also able to make up missed sessions by coming more often in February & March. Skaters that benefited from the extra ice times will not be receiving a coupon. A separate email was sent to families with further details. Please contact Isabella.salazar@calgaryspeedskating.ca if you have not received yours.

We will be holding our SGM to elect a new Board for the 2022-23 season and appoint two members to review the CSSA financials as of June 30, 2022. The Board & staff will also present how the season went and host a question and answer session. To register, please email Isabella Salazar at Isabella.salazar@calgaryspeedskating.ca
