Registration Policy
Skaters must register in the category, level and program for which they qualify at the time of registration. Skaters will be notified following their registration only if there is a change to the times requested in their application for registration. The Club reserves the right to move skaters between levels, depending on skaters’ abilities. The Club also has the right to change skaters’ ice times depending on the number of registrations received or to cancel hours if registration is insufficient to continue to hold the session. The Club also has the right to cancel any session if registration is not sufficient or if the City of Ottawa changes or cancels any of the Club’s ice. In the event that the Club has to change or cancel a session, the skater may be given a refund for the affected session. For certain programs, registrations are taken on a first come, first serve basis.

PAYMENT
- Payment may be made by online with credit card.
- You are entitled to pay for your program and registrations fees in installments for the Winter and Spring sessions only (Winter session is October to end of March). Skate Canada fees must be paid for at the time of registration. Payment for Fall and Summer skate sessions must be made payable on the date of registration.
WITHDRAWALS AND CHANGES
- You may withdraw from a program and receive a refund, less a $25 administration fee, if you withdraw at least 5 business days prior to the first on-ice session.
- Skaters may withdraw from registered sessions after the program start date for medical reasons. A refund of program fees, calculated on a pro rated basis, based on the number of sessions that have taken place up to the time of withdrawal and the number of sessions occurring after the withdrawal, will be given to the skater upon presentation to the Club Registrar of a medical certificate. No refund will be given to any withdrawn skater for any Skate Canada fees as this amount is paid by the Club to third party sources after registration and cannot be refunded to the Club.
- Skaters who, for non-medical reasons, choose to withdraw from a registered program after the start date, will be entitled to a pro-rated refund, less a $25 administration fee, as long as the withdrawal request is received during the first 4 sessions.
- Refunds will not be provided if a skater misses sessions for illness or schedule conflict. If a skater is required to be absent from sessions due to Covid-19 related issues such as quarantine and the absence is longer than a 2 week period, refunds will be provided on a pro-rated base upon receipt of a medical certificate.
