Great news - surprised they're coming back so quickly. I'm on my way to visit Rosaleen for a few days, and she'll be thrilled.

 

[chantilly]

Cool
Doubt I’ll make it out for this one.
Hopefully it comes back to Kelowna soon.

Great, I love Vancouver

 

[Satellizer]

Nice! Vancouver is much more palatable than Mississauga from Edmonton.

 

[kalamalka]

Give her a hug from me.

I will indeed. I printed the NR for her, and she was going around the floor showing it to staff almost as soon as she'd read it (as I expected).

And I will be there!

I should be there too as long as we can figure out what to do with the kids. I'm excited to go to a competition again!

 

[another sk8rmom]

I’m considering attending
Where do you recommend staying? Looks like most hot so are 5+ miles away from the arena.
Thanks in advance for all recommendations!!

There are some hotel suggestions & tips in this 2021 thread (posts #4-10): https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...details-you-want-to-know.108412/#post-6018181

 

[another sk8rmom]

Thanks @Sylvia ! I will take a look.

I wish Skate Canada would go back to Quebec City. I was there in 2002 and would love to go back. Vancouver is just too far to go for a weekend event.

Quebec City is my favourite place in Quebec. I do prefer summer there vs winter but I it.

 

[MacMadame]

I want to go to this now. I loved the GPF when it was in Vancouver. But if SkAm is in Las Vegas again, I need to go there to check out something anyway. And if it's in SoCal, it's a chance to visit my kid. I hope they announce it soon so I can make up my mind!

 

[Lanie]

I've never been to Canada and am tempted to go to this SC rather than wherever SA ends up

 

[cygnus]

I will be there, probably hanging out with family though.

 

[4rkidz]

Im not sure, I loved it in 2021, maybe if I volunteer? Does make for an expensive long weekend. But I do love grand prix events. Maybe I will see where the American one is too?

 

[AnnM]

I plan on attending. I've always wanted to go to Vancouver and have never been to a Grand Prix event other than SkAm.

Speaking of Skate Canada (the org), they haven't announced the venue for Nationals 2024 right?

No they haven't. Which is a bit surprising since whoever was commentating on CBC Online (I think Ted?) said the location was determined but he wasn't sure if he was allowed to share yet. He then confirmed it was still private information.

 

[puglover]

I went and visited a friend and loved being there for nationals 2018. Two of my daughters want to go to a skating event with me and I think this might be a good option. They are both Americans but live in the south west so this should be an easy commute for them.

In the Oshawa thread someone said its Calgary. But I agree, it is surprising since generally they tend to announce around January at the latest.

Does a person need a password to purchase tickets tomorrow when the pre-sale starts?
