Skate for ALL - FREE SKATE at ARC

Thanks to the support of Intact Insurance and the Community Sport for All Initiative, we are excited to bring Skate for All to Abbotsford! This FREE, community-based speed skating event is designed to introduce skating to youth, new Canadians, and underrepresented groups in our community. Skate for All is part of a nation-wide initiative by Speed Skating Canada to provide inclusive, barrier-free access to skating. The program aims to ensure that everyone in Canada has the opportunity to experience the joy of skating and develop a lifelong love of sport. As part of the event, we will also celebrate Speed Skating as an Olympic sport and plan to watch highlights from the 2026 Winter Olympic Athletes training and competing this past year, inspiring participants with the excitement and achievements of Canadian athletes.
