All students must have a current CSA approved helmet. For example: hockey helmets, downhill skiing helmets or horseback riding helmets - absolutely NO BIKE HELMETS will be allowed. A cage is recommended but is not mandatory for skating. Hockey sticks will only be allowed for students in grade 1-4 on the last session of each skating week. For a student to be allowed to play hockey they will need to have a full cage on their skating helmet.

The school does have skates and helmets that can be borrowed by students should they find they do not have skates that fit or a helmet meeting the CSA requirement.

All students must wear their outdoor jackets while skating. Gloves or mittens also are a must - they keep fingers warm and offer a bit of protection from falls! Ski pants are also encouraged, especially with the younger skaters.
