Synchronized Skating Championships

Burnaby will play host for the 2014 Skate Canada Synchronized Skating Championships and will run from February 21-23 at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre.

“The province of British Columbia has proven itself as a terrific host for figure skating events,” said William Thompson, Skate Canada CEO. “We are pleased to be heading to Burnaby for the 2014 Skate Canada Synchronized Skating Championships. We hope that fans will help to raise the noise level as they cheer on the best synchronized skating teams in Canada.”

“I am thrilled that Burnaby has been successful in its bid to host the 2014 Skate Canada National Synchronized Skating Championships,” says Burnaby mayor, Derek Corrigan. “It is an honour to have our City and facilities recognized by Skate Canada.

The Bill Copeland Sports Centre is an exceptional venue that will help ensure the success of this major national event.

We look forward to showcasing our exemplary skating facilities while welcoming to our City the hundreds of skaters, coaches and volunteers – and the thousands of spectators – who will attend these Championships during a season that typically sees fewer visitors.

In addition to experiencing what is sure to be an exciting and memorable event, I know that all who attend and participate will enjoy the hospitality and the hundreds of attractions Burnaby has to offer.”
