Sounds like fun - wish I could make it but my shift is 10-3 on Wednesday! Would have love to have met some of you.

It can be paid by cash (11$ must be exact change) on the bus. The “vending machines” that sell fares accept cash or card.

I will be there but I am volunteering! :)

In Canada we mostly use a program called Uplifter. https://www.uplifterinc.com/ Each club has their own site where they can manage registration, emails, and enter badges/levels passed etc… The only thing is the test results stay with the club so if a skater moves and registers with a new club...

My rink (3 ice sheets) is part of the community civic centre. It also includes the library, 2 pools (50m and 25m pool for adapted classes), gym, small theatre, arts centre and gallery and the Seniors Club. And right now a vaccination centre as well. There isn’t a dedicated website for the...

Okay well I’m glad it’s not just me! I thought I had logged out or something but I guess (hope!) it’s a glitch

Is there a reason Montreal wasn’t automatically awarded Worlds in 2023? Did they not want it? Was the bidding process done before worlds got cancelled?

I know this is super random and probably a total long shot and really it’s not super important but I figured I’d ask! My friend remembers back in the early 90s watching a skating routine to (an instrumental version of) Silent Lucidity by Queensryche. From what she remembers and I can piece...

Nope. I’m in Montreal ☹️ and pretty much all the local arenas, community centres and pools have shut down.

The Bell Centre is the largest arena in the NHL - over 21 000 (I’m sure it’s not sold out and many seats blocked for judges but...)
