The Portage Skating Club hosted their annual general meeting this week. Skating Club President Shawn Cabak shared one of the highlights of the evening.

"One of the highlights of the night included recognizing skaters who achieved their gold test level for the year," says Cabak. "That is the highest level you can achieve.  Achieving quads, means getting gold in all four tests."

Cabak notes it was a busy year with many events and testing days.

"2017-18 was a very busy season with testing, competitions and fun events," adds Cabak. "A major undertaking was the successful hosting of the Manitoba Open in February with over 200 skaters participating over three days.  Skaters attended from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario.  We also hosted the Cirque de Soleil Ice Carnival which was a hit.  It showcased our CanSkate, Group Skate and Star Skaters."

Cabak notes they don't have any major events lined up for next year just yet but says they're always looking.  The following is a list of award winners for the 2017-18 skating season.
