Dalhousie/King's Figure Skating Club
The Dalhousie/King's Figure Skating club (DKFSC) welcomes Dalhousie and King's students, as well as associated faculty, staff, and community members to come out on the ice and practice their skating in a casual low stakes environment!
The overarching goal of the DKFSC is to give Dalhousie and King’s students and faculty, as well as Dalplex members, who have previous figure skating experience, the opportunity to easily integrate figure skating into their lives. The club offers 5 hours of open practice sessions every week throughout the fall and winter terms for only $50 + the Skate Canada membership fee.
The DKFSC is an official Skate Canada club, meaning that members are able to compete at any level through the club, including at Nova Scotia provincials, and Atlantics! Travel and accommodations within the province will also be covered by the club to provide all skaters the opportunity to compete.
