Update November 2, 2023 -- Simulation 2023, Thursday, November 9th, Port Credit Arena -- Competitor Schedule and Information
Hello Simulation 2023 Competitiors,
The coaches at PCFSC are excited to see all the skater's perform in the Simulation 2023. We know that for some of you this is your first experience competing so here are some important points to help navigate the competiton environment:
1. Please arrive no later than 45 minutes prior to the start of your event.
2. You will need to SIGN IN with the Registration Desk.
3. Star 5 and higher events will need to complete a Planned Program sheet (will be available at Registration Desk)
4. Dressing Rooms will be assigned at Registration. At competitions, parents are not allowed in the dressing room area. We will be following this procedure. There will be a coach/board member in the dressing room to supervise the skaters in Star 1-2. If your child wants you to tie their skates, you will need to do so in the lobby area.
5. Awards for Star 1-2 can be picked up at the Awards table after the event is completed. Usually takes 15-20 mins.
6. Please speak to your coach with regards to their expectations around competing (outfit, hair, pre competition warm up etc)
Please see the attached schedule for your event(s) times. The schedule will also be posted on the website.
I would encourage you and your skater to stay and watch some of the other events. It will give your skater an opportunity to see what they can look forward to.
If you have any questions please reach out at sr94av@yahoo.com
Regards
Coach Sarah

Update Monday, February 27, 2023 -- Skaters Jump to New Heights with Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant
On Sunday, February 26, 2023, local MPP Rudy Cuzzetto met with the team at Port Credit Skating Club to hear more about the $62,800 Resilient Communities Fund Grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) that was used to adapt and re-imaging the delivery of its programs and services to be able to safely deliver its programs with new equipment and technology available to the skating community. The purchasing portion of this project will be completed in April 2023 and the equipment will be used to enhance the skating experience for years to come.
"Athletic clubs like the Port Credit Skating Club are a crucial and valued part of any community, especially here in Mississauga-Lakeshore," said MPP Cuzetto. "After two difficult years with the COVID-19 pandemic, I am delighted to see that funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation has supported the purchase of additional equipment to enhance health and safety, and better serve the needs of the club's young athletes."
"The impact of this Ontario Trillium Foundation grant cannot be overstated," said Siobhan Crawley, VP, Adminstration of Port Credit Skating Club. "This grant has allowed our Club to better serve the needs of our skaters with access to the latest technology and learning tools. We have been able to improve the safety of our volunteers and coaches with new equipment and tools to deliver our programs and make the environment safer for all. It will allow us to serve our community better."
The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF), an agency of the Government of Ontario, and one of Canada's leading granting foundations celebrates 40 years of grantmaking in Ontario and making a lasting impact in communities. Last Year, OTF invested nearly $209M into 2,042 community projects and partnerships, which included funding for the Government of Ontario's community Building Fund.
