Since 1997 the Skate Canada BC/YT Section Athlete Support Fund (ASF) has provided crucial financial assistance to skaters across our Section. From subsidizing competition costs to offering scholastic bursaries and covering banquet fees for Kelowna Camp participants, the ASF helps athletes achieve their goals. Over the past 28 years, more than $100,000 has been awarded to athletes. Thanks to generous donations and successful fundraising efforts like 50/50 raffles and rose sales, the Athlete Support Fund remains committed to supporting the educational and athletic goals of skaters across the province.

50/50 Raffles

The Athlete Support Fund Committee would like to thank everyone who has supported our 50/50 raffles this season.

Athlete Support Fund Bursary Recipients

The Athlete Support Fund is proud to assist skaters who have been or are currently on the BC/YT Team, or have achieved at least 3 of the 4 Gold Test Assessments, and are furthering their post-secondary education. Each year, the Athlete Support Fund Committee reviews applications, evaluating submission quality, skating achievements, academic performance, and community involvement. Bursary amounts vary annually based on available funds, the number of applicants, and the caliber of applications received.
