Great Canadian Kilt Skate -- Home Edition


In addition to the community Kilt Skates across the country, this year we launch a new kilt skate for pandemic times — a stay-in-your-bubble, pan-Canadian event: The Great Canadian Kilt Skate: Home Edition!

Everyone, everywhere can join: on your backyard rink, on the ODR at the community centre, on the frozen pond down the road.

Send Your Photos and Videos. We’ll use them to celebrate Canadian winter and the Scottish determination to have fun, no matter the temperature.

“Our faces may be masked, but our knees will be bare.”
