What is Parent Assist?
Parent and tot is a class that allows the skater to go on the ice with a parent/guardian/adult that also have skates on. There is an instructor that will help you work with your child. Your skater will also receive a report card at the end of the session with the goal for your skater to register in our PreCanSkate or PreCanSkate/CanSkate sessions in the future. The Parent/guardian/adult will also need to purchase a Skate Canada membership for their insurance on the ice. It is important the person that purchases the membership is the person with the skater on the ice. If there are two different adults going to be sharing the ice time, then each adult will need to purchase a Skate Canada membership. If you have any questions about your membership options, please email us at skateregina@myaccess.ca. The Skate Canada membership will be applied at the time of check out. The Skate Canada membership will be refunded to the parent if the skater is moved into the Unassisted side of the ice after 3 sessions.
