Skate Canada BC/YT Section is dedicated to the principals of enabling every person in British Columbia and Yukon to participate in skating throughout their lifetime for fun, fitness, and/or achievement.  

 

The Section Fundraising project raises funds to support athletes by offsetting coaching, travel, and facilities costs making participation more accessible.  Funds are also used to support athlete and volunteer recognition and awards events.

 

All donations will receive an electronic tax receipt. We thank you for considering donating to Skate Canada BC/YT Section.

Since 1997 the Athlete Support Fund has supported provincial athletes with scholastic bursaries to advance their education while remaining active in figure skating. Over the past 24 years, more than $70,000 has been distributed to athletes. Thanks to generous donations and successful fundraising efforts, the Athlete Support Fund remains committed to supporting the educational and athletic goals of skaters across the province.

Athlete Support Fund Bursary Recipients

The Athlete Support Fund is proud to assist skaters who have been or are currently on the BC/YT Team, or have achieved at least 3 of the 4 Gold Test Assessments, and are furthering their post-secondary education. Each year, the Athlete Support Fund Committee reviews applications, evaluating submission quality, skating achievements, academic performance, and community involvement. Bursary amounts vary annually based on available funds, the number of applicants, and the caliber of applications received.

All of the applications will be reviewed by the Athlete Support Committee, looking at the quality of your application, your level of skating, marks and volunteer involvement.  The Bursary amounts each year are dependent upon the number of athletes applying, the funds available, and the quality of the applications.

Tips for completing the application:

  • Ensure that all components of the application form are completed in full with accurate information. Applications with missing information will not be scored as high as applications with complete and accurate information.

  • Submit supporting documents in full (e.g.: proof of registration in a post-secondary institution, transcripts).

  • Provide clear examples that support your application. For example, providing clarity on volunteer activities, including the organization(s) you volunteer with, type of volunteer activities, how long you have volunteered, and how frequently.

  • Information about awards or recognition that you have received also help to enhance the application.

  • Provide fulsome information about your education plans. The committee appreciates that plans can change, but it is helpful to understand your current plans and any education and career paths you are considering in the future.
