Seaforth Figure Skating
Club draws good
numbers for new season

While the Seaforth Figure Skating
Club is still drawing plenty of kids
each season, club president Tracy
Schelken says the club is finding it
increasingly difficult to attract kids
to pursue competitive skating.
"The numbers (for the competitive
side) have been going down over the
last couple of years," she says,
adding that the same thing is hap-
pening across the province, not just
in Seaforth.
This is at the same time Skate
Canada is continuing to push clubs
to focus more on competitive skat-
ing.
The problem is, says Schelken,
any parents use the figure skat-
club as skating lessons for their
kids.
"They will put their kids into the
CanSkate program, where they'll
get the basic skills before taking
them out and putting them in hock-
ey or ringette," he says.
However, notes Schelken, there
are seven kids from this year's club,
which has 52 members, that are
training for competitive figure skat-
ing.
"Out of our seven, I'm sure all
seven will compete," she says, not-
ing tournaments in Stratford in
February and Cambridge in March
as likely tournaments they will
enter.

Small business is growing stronger in Ontario, and Ontario is working hard
to keep it that way. Ontario's Business Advisory Service Offices and Small
Business Enterprise Centres help entrepreneurs access the provincial
programs, services and contacts they need to ensure they can compete
and succeed against the best in the world. Students also benefit from the
government's Summer Company program, by learning how to start and
manage their own businesses. It's a great experience for our future
entrepreneurs. And that's a great investment for alt of us.
