Are you asking yourself the following questions?.. Why does the Club need sponsorship for the Ice Show? ... Why does the Club charge the fundraising fee? ... Why does the Club need donations? ....
The answer is that unfortunately, our Club is currently not in a strong financial position. The Club, like all organizations has been in a period of transition and re-evaluation since the lifting of the covid restrictions. In the 2022-2023 season, the decision was made not to host an Ice Show nor pursue any fundraising initiatives. We wanted our membership to focus on being present for their skaters and return to the ice without additional obligations. However, this is not a financially sustainable reality as the Club had a significant financial loss last season. We are optimistic that a return of the Ice Show and transparency of our financial challenges will help stabilize the financial outlook for the Club.
