​Skate Canada Fee: This fee is broken down into 4 portions: Registrant Fee - National, Registrant Fee - Sectional, Safe Sport Fee and Injury Benefit. These fees are collected by the WSC and remitted directly to Skate Canada, which provides coverage to skaters from September 1st to August 31 each year. To see the cost breakdown for our 2025/2026 Skate Canada Fee, please head to this link: Registrant Fees for the 2025-2026 Season - Skate Ontario

​

Administration Fee: This fee helps cover the cost of all administrative aspects of the registration process. There are costs associated with the use of Uplifter, as well as the ability to accept credit card payments - which this helps cover.

​

Fundraising Fee: Parents are charged $80.00 upfront as a fundraising fee. In return, the WSC will provide you $80.00 worth of raffle tickets for the Skate Ontario Promotional Contest. When parents and skaters sell the tickets, they keep the money from sales, meaning that $80.00 can be made back.

​

Volunteer Fee: The WSC charges a $100.00 volunteer fee for the season in anticipation of our STAR 1-4 Competition, which we will be hosting on January 23rd, 24th and 25th, 2026. This competition will be a great opportunity for our STAR skaters, but it will take many volunteers to be successful.

 

If a family member volunteers for a minimum of 4 hours throughout the weekend, the $100.00 will not be charged. If a parent does not volunteer at all, the WSC will charge the $100.00 on February 28, 2026.

​

Note - this is not intended to be an upfront cost. If the parent selects a payment plan on Uplifter, the $100.00 will not be charged until February 28, 2026, and only if the minimum volunteer requirement is not met. If the parent pays in full in the fall, they can expect a refund of the $100.00 to be posted back to their credit card following the competition if the volunteer requirements have been met.
