Any person not adhering to these rules may be asked to leave the ice.

Freelance Coaching
- The best interests of our Club’s skaters and coaches are paramount. Requests for any external coach to enter the ice must be submitted in writing to our Pro-Liaison, 30 days in advance, along with documentation to support the coach’s good standing with Skate Canada. The request will be subject to explicit approval by the Executive, and all members of the LFSC coaching staff.

REFUNDS
- Requests for refunds must be submitted in writing within 2 weeks of the start of the session. Any requests for refunds due to medical conditions will require doctors’ certificates and will be pro-rated. An administration fee of $50 will apply to all refunds.
CARNIVAL
- To showcase our skaters, we hold a year-end Ice Carnival! This annual event includes skaters from all programs in Session B. It is an excellent way to finish the season and a real hit with participants and spectators alike! The Carnival is scheduled for Sunday, March 18th, 2018. Carnival practice begins February 26th, during regular lessons.
Each family participating in our Carnival will be responsible for the purchase of one booklet of 6 tickets for $30, and a $50 deposit for Carnival costumes. The costume deposit is refundable upon costume return. You can look forward to receiving more information about the Carnival as the season progresses! A newsletter outlining Carnival groups, the schedule, and costume details, will be available in early 2018.
