Skate Canada New Brunswick Program Fee

Skate Canada New Brunswick Program Fee

Following Skate Canada's Fee Increases, the SCNB Program Fee has been revised. 

Purpose

Skate Canada New Brunswick (SCNB) replaced its lottery with the Skate Canada New Brunswick Program Fee. These monies are used to subsidize skating programs such as Podium Pathway, STAR, Synchronised Skating, Adult Skating, Learn to Skate, Officials and Coaches.

Important Notice

Effective September 1, 2023, SCNB wishes to advise clubs that the program fee will remain unchanged at $15.00; however, the method of collection will be coming from two (2) different sources.

Source #1: Skate Canada has increased the registration fee as of September 1, 2023 and the SCNB portion has increased by $5.00. The SCNB board has decided to apply this $5.00 increase to the credit of the Skater Program Fee as of September 2023.

Source #2 With the increase noted in Source #1, clubs should only bill the skater $10.00 with respect to the SCNB Skater Program Fee. The sum of Source #1 and #2 will meet the $15.00 per skater requirement.

The following registrants will be exempt from this fee:

  • Club Board Members that are not registered in any skating program
  • Synchro Team Managers and Chaperones that are not registered in any skating program
  • Officials (Data Specialist, Judges, Tech Panel, Evaluators, Announcers) that are not registered in any skating program
  • Program Assistants that are not registered in any skating program
  • Skate Canada New Brunswick Board Members that are not registered in any skating program


Billing process

SCNB will invoice the club/skating school for registrants based on data provided by Skate Canada. Any registrant who is registered for a skating program (eg Podium Pathway, STAR, Synchronised Skating, Adult Skating, Learn to Skate, etc) will incur a $15 SCNB Program Fee effective July 1, 2022. 

Changes to the Invoicing System.

In order to facilitate the invoicing process and the credits due to clubs with respect to eligible registrants who are noted above, SCNB has created an exemption application request that all clubs should complete and submit no later than November 30, 2023 to coincide with the initial billing period of the Skater Program Fee. Please note that applications made after November 30, for the exemptions will not be considered.
