ONE WEEK, ONE WORLDS, ONE TEAM! Message from BILL BOLAND, Local Organization Committee Chair Well what was started 4 years ago is just about to officially commence, although from a tour of Budweiser Gardens and the downtown core yesterday with President Benoit Lavoie, including some of the stores and art studios, it was very evident that we are now in full mode. As LOC Chair I want to take this opportunity on behalf of the Board of Directors of Skate Canada to thank you for all of your efforts to date and for those yet to come to make this the most memorable World Championship for athletes, coaches, officials, sponsors, fans and yourselves. We could not do this without you and your many volunteers. As I recently told a reporter, One Week, One Worlds and ONE TEAM. Again to you and all the Skate Canada staff, my sincere and huge THANK YOU. Congratulations Hamilton Skating Club - 75 Years CelebrationFor more information, contact the HSC.
Message from Steve Scherrer, WO Chair Regarding Third Party Online Web-Based Registrations Email BlastJune 12, 2012. Good Afternoon Western Ontario Clubs and Regions. Over the past week, your club or club contact may have received an email advertising/ promoting/ soliciting an online registration system and web-content program. It appears to have an endorsement of Skate Ontario or similar invitation to participate in the top right corner of the page file sent. Please be advised, that Skate Canada - Western Ontario and Skate Canada (national office) do not endorse or support this mass email blast that went out to the Ontario skating community. The only online registration system endorsed by the Section is the one offered and supported by the Skate Canada National office and the national office Information Technology (IT) Department. The Skate Canada online system program provides a secure and protected environment for both your Club's and membership's data/information. Please be educated and aware before entering into or taking on services by a 3rd party service provider managing your membership database and conducting e-Commerce for your Club. Having your membership information and data beyond the safe guards established by Skate Canada should present concerns on how that information can and may be used, solicited or sold to other outside organizations.

Message to the WO Membership From Steve Scherrer, Section ChairMay 17, 2012 ~ Dear Western Ontario Section Members.
As indicated at the Western Ontario Section AGM, there was no candidate for election as Region Representative to the WO Board of Directors. When Pat Woods announced the process to fill this vacancy, a call for intent went out to the current Region Chairs. At the closing date, the intent forms received were reviewed by the Chair of the Governance Committee and Section Chair. A recommendation was then made to the WO Board for appointment. The WO Board of Directors has approved the appointment of Michelle Hunsley to fill this vacant Director position for the one year term 2012-2013 season. Sad News for the WO Skating Community
