Skate Canada - Overview

Overview

The organization was originally founded in 1914 as "The Figure Skating Department of the Amateur Skating Association of Canada". In 1939, it changed its name to the "Canadian Figure Skating Association" (CFSA). The current name of "Skate Canada" was adopted in 2000 for consistency with the names of other national sports organizations in Canada.

Skate Canada claims to be "the largest figure skating governing body in the world". The vast majority of members are not elite competitors, but recreational skaters.
