First Figure Skating Club in Chase is a Go!

he Shuswap has a newly formed skating club and blades have been hitting the ice since the start of October. President Tamara De Jager was inspired to start the Shuswap Skating Club, based out of the Art Holding Memorial Arena in Chase, at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. "There was so many restrictions for my daughter skating in another town due to Covid, and I thought 'why don't we have that here? We have the facilities here!” said De Jager. The club is open to skaters in the Shuswap area and currently has a spread of ages from 3 - 16, plus a couple of adults. All skill levels are welcome as the club runs Pre-CanSkate, CanSkate, Junior Star Skate and Star Skate programs all at the
same time. The CanSkate program may lead to junior figure skating, but it can also be used for general skating skills and could help hockey players. Shuswap Skating Club was lucky enough to snag an amazing skating coach, Megan Ryan, who recently moved to Scotch Creek for her job as a roofer. Ryan, who is a long time figure skater herself, jumped at the chance to be involved in the sport here in Chase. "I love skating and spreading the joy skating can bring to everybody! There is no better feeling than watching my students grow and learn, helping through the failures and celebrating their successes," said Ryan, who until relocating was involved the Kamloops figure skating club.
