SMSC Year-End Banquet

This is one of the highlights of the year for our STARSkaters. We celebrate successes and recognize all the hard work and achievements of our skaters over the last season. 

This evening event features a sit-down dinner, followed by the presentation of awards. Our skaters who have achieved Gold in any of the four disciplines (skills, free skate, dance or interpretive) are recognized, as well as those skaters who have represented SMSC in at least three competitions.

Dress code is business casual (no jeans please). Our female skaters usually wear their favourite dresses and the male skaters sport their favourite dress shirt & pants.

Skaters who are 13 years of age or younger must be accompanied by an adult. 

Please Note: To attend the Banquet regardless of arrival time , a ticket must be purchased.
