Day 3 and the final day of Champions Circle Weekend! 💙💛

Yesterday, we welcomed our skaters and guests to the new Dalhousie Oulton-Stanish Centre. What a beautiful facility, and we are excited to add this rink to our arena list for next season.

We also celebrated another amazing year at our Annual Awards Banquet. One of the highlights was a surprise visit from graduating skater Claire, who arrived in her prom attire for us to present her final Gold test pin and officially recognize her as a Quad Gold skater before the celebrations began.

Today, we wrap up an incredible weekend as skaters continue learning from Karen Preston and Tara Motahari. Later, our CanSkaters will join the fun as they take part in our annual Skate with an Olympian Day, and our Champions Circle weekend activities come to a close.

Here's to one more day of great skating, great people, and great memories. 💙💛
