Update Tuesday, June 2 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel all in-person Fitness & Recreation Programs originally planned to run in June, July and August. As restrictions from the provincial government and public health are communicated, we will provide updates regarding future programming.

Registrations will be automatically cancelled. You do not need to withdraw or cancel your registration.
Any fees already paid will be refunded in full. Payments made by credit card will be automatically refunded to that card. If you paid for a registration with any other form of payment, you will receive an account credit that can be used to pay for future registrations. For more information about recreation program credits and refunds, please email reghelp@uoguelph.ca

Learn Skating

This program is intended for non-skaters or for those with limited skill. Skaters will practice skating forward and backwards, developing confidence and control including stops and turns. Participants must provide their own skates (figure or hockey) and recommend sharpening the blades prior to the first class. Safety pads and a hockey helmet would be an asset to beginners. Participants are expected to practice between sessions.
