OTTAWA, ON (April 22, 2024) – Skate Canada is pleased to announce that Halifax, N.S., will host Skate Canada International from October 24-27, 2024. Held at the Scotiabank Centre, Halifax’s premier venue for sports and entertainment, the event will attract some of the top figure skaters from Canada and around the world.
This year will mark the 50th edition of Skate Canada International and the fourth time that Halifax has hosted the competition since its inception in 1973.
“We are thrilled to once again partner with the City of Halifax to bring the world of figure skating back to the Maritimes for the 2024 Skate Canada International,” said Debra Armstrong, Skate Canada’s Chief Executive Officer. “Not only is this event a chance for fans to enjoy the very best that the sport has to offer, but an opportunity to celebrate 50 years of world-class competition in Canada.”
Skate Canada International is the second competition in the annual International Skating Union (ISU) Grand Prix of Figure Skating series. The competition serves as a crucial stop on the road to the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final, providing athletes with the opportunity to earn valuable qualifying points.
