Who We AreThe Duncan Skating Club has been one of the largest clubs on Vancouver Island since becoming an official Skate Canada Club. We offer group sessions for kids to learn how to skate with professional instruction so that they can develop into a love of figure skating or hockey. At the Duncan Skating Club we want kids to learn to love to be on the ice.
