Toddler Shenanigans

This program provides little ones with the opportunity to explore and experience the world through messy play. This allows children to use and develop their senses, and to further develop their natural inquiry skills. There is no structure or rules on how to play, allowing more freedom to explore. It is also a great opportunity for caregivers to spend quality time with their children in an open-ended manner.

Who: Children aged 1-5
What: Take-home/virtual activity kits!
When: Monthly, from January to June 2021
Where: Families will pick up their kits and do the activities from the comfort of their homes.
Why: We are not able to meet in-person, but we still believe parents and children should have the opportunity to engage in messy play, together.
Cost: FREE thanks to funding provided by the Healthy Child Coalition-South East

Registration date/time for each monthly kit will be announced on Niverville Recreation’s social media! Stay tuned!

Niverville Skating School

The Niverville Skating School is an accredited club with Skate Canada. We provide Niverville and surrounding communities with Learn to Skate programs. These programs are coached by NCCP certified Skate Canada coaches who will teach proper skating techniques so children can move along the ice safely.

Programs Offered:

Pre-CanSkate (Parent & Tot)

The PreCanSkate program is a component of the CanSkate (Learn to Skate) program and is not considered a separate program. It is designed to prepare skaters to transition to the full CanSkate program.

PreCanSkate (Parent & Tot) is for beginners (ages 3+) who have never skated before or who are not confident with their balance on the ice. Skaters will work on the essentials needed to move safely and effectively on the ice.

A parent/guardian is required on the ice (in skates).

The PreCanSkate program teaches the following 8 skills:

1. Balance on 2 feet
2. Fall down and get up
3. Move forward
4. Move backwards
5. Make snow
6. Twist
7. March around on the spot
8. 2 feet twist on the spot
9. Jump on the spot

Once the skater has proved they are capable of these 8 skills, they can move on to our CanSkate program. Coaches will determine these skills and parents/guardians will be notified in advance of the move.

CanSkate

CanSkate is a dynamic learn-to-skate program that focuses on fun, participation, and basic skill development. This 45-minute program is intended for skaters who have existing confidence on the ice.

As of September 1^st, 2020, and due to COVID-19, all skaters registered in CanSkate programming are required to have previous skating experience. All new skaters not previously registered with Skate Canada are subject to review by the Skating School and its coaches at the first session. If you are unsure if your skater has the correct experience, check out our PreCanSkate program or contact us before registering.

To run the CanSkate program, parent/guardian volunteers are needed. The program requires a minimum of 3-4 volunteers on the ice per session. If you would like to help, please let us know through email at recreation@whereyoubelong.ca

Information:

All registration and payments are made online through an e-services account.

All COVID-19 protocols related to Skate Canada and Niverville Skating School programs will be posted here and updated as information becomes available.

Information on registration dates and cost will be released in Summer 2021. Stay tuned.
