Kim Baron, Event Chairperson is pleased to announce the Carberry Skating Club and the Skate Canada Manitoba Section are hosting the 2016 Skate Canada Manitoba Synchronized Skating Championships at the Carberry Plains Community Centre Arena on January 16, 2016.

Shauna Marling, Executive Director Skate Canada Manitoba thanked the Carberry Skating Club and its volunteers for hosting this exciting and fun event.

The objective is for the team to perform as one unit, executing circles, blocks, lines, wheels and intersections in unison to the music while demonstrating quality edges, power and flow. Marling added Synchronized Skating is very exciting and fun to watch.
