Child and Youth Programs

Grassroots Hockey

Registration is open for the fall sessions running from 2:00-2:45 PM for ages 5-8 and 2:45-3:30 PM for ages 9-14.

These are 8-week programs that are geared toward children between 5 - 14 who have not played hockey, but have basic skating skills. All of the basics from learning how to skate and how to pass and shoot the puck will be covered. All players are required to wear full equipment. We do have some extra gear available, please let us know prior to the start of the program if you need a certain item. 

We plan to run another 8-week program from January - February of 2025 on Sundays at 2:00 PM and 2:45 PM.

At Home Alone and Babysitter's Course

Becoming a babysitter is serious business. What you do, or don’t do can make a difference. Learn the role of the babysitter, child development, caring for children, positive behaviour management, home and outdoor safety and injury prevention, fire safety and first aid tips for children. Learn how to operate your babysitting business. Engaging and educational.

The goal of the Emergency First Aid part of this program is to provide students with the skills and information to keep them and the children they babysit safe if they are faced with a medial emergency. We recommend that students enroll in a certified First Aid program to learn advanced skills and CPR to be better prepared for any emergency.
