The North Kawartha Figure Skating Club

We're aware that many were anxiously awaiting the return of the Figure Skating Program at the NKCC. The Township of North Kawartha has taken actions which include working closely with the Public Health Unit to help protect the health of our community during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we are also requesting that members of the public share some of that responsibility, by observing the rules and regulations that have been put in place for your protection, and the protection of others. 

The North Kawartha Figure Skating Club 2020/21 Season
The North Kawartha Figure Skating Club prides itself on providing programs for the entire community. Come and learn to skate with us, where our skaters love the action, music, and fun. Then in March they get to display the results of all their hard work and dedication in a spectacular ice show. With many skill levels, we are able to assess your child's skating abilities and place them in the appropriate group. 

Figure skating lessons at the NKCC began November 09, 2020 and were to end with the North Kawartha Figure Skating Club Annual Show, that was tentatively scheduled for Saturday, March 27, 2021. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the season had to end early, and the Annual Show was cancelled.

Pickleball was created with one thing in mind: fun. It was designed to be easy to learn and play, whether you’re five, eighty-five, or somewhere in-between. It is traditionally played on a badminton-sized court with special pickleball paddles, made of wood or high-tech aerospace materials. The ball used is similar to a wiffle ball, but slightly smaller. The wiffle ball and smaller court size allow the game to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities, while still allowing more competitive players to test their mettle. 

For additional information regarding Adult Pickleball, please contact Brian Conley at 705-656-2695 or email: b.conley2139@gmail.com.

Pickleball at Wilson Park
Pickleball was created with one thing in mind: fun. It was designed to be easy to learn and play, whether you’re five, eighty-five, or somewhere in-between. It is traditionally played on a badminton-sized court with special pickleball paddles, made of wood or high-tech aerospace materials. The ball used is similar to a wiffle ball, but slightly smaller. The wiffle ball and smaller court size allow the game to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities, while still allowing more competitive players to test their mettle.
