Figure Skating was first competed at the inaugural 1967 Canada Winter Games in Quebec City. In these first games, one of the most well known Canadian figure skaters of all time, Toller Cranston, won Gold for Quebec.
Figure skaters (in pairs and singles competitions) will compete during week 2 at St. Margaret’s Centre in St. Margaret’s Bay. The 2011 Games will also feature figure skating competition for athletes with mental disabilities (in the Special Olympics portion of figure skating competition), which will take place during week 2.
