I CAN SKATE FAST PROGRAM

Speed Skating Ontario is supporting a program that will introduce elementary school-aged participants to the sport of speed skating. I Can Skate Fast! is an interactive outreach program where students learn about short track speed skating through the book Lucy Tries Short Track, written by Lisa Bowes.

​

Through trained facilitators, participants will engage and participate in two interactive lessons that have the following key learning objectives:

​

  • Recognizing the sport of speed skating as a winter sport in Canada, learn about the race format of a short track speed skating race and reflect what it means to be a good sportsperson.

  • Appling their existing fundamental movement skills (running, acceleration, agility and balance) and the rules of a short track race in an off-ice race.
