Skate Lakeshore launched the holiday season with its expanded Winter Gala showcase on Dec. 21, 2024, at the Atlas Tube Centre.
The event featured exhibitions by three Silver Stars synchronized skating teams and solo performances from skaters of all ages.
“The Winter Gala is a great opportunity for the skaters to showcase what they have been working on so far this season,” said Skate Lakeshore head coach Jenn Woodrich.
“For skaters heading into competition season, it’s a perfect opportunity to perform their programs in front of a cheering audience, especially as part of holiday celebrations.”
Admission was made through donations of mitts, socks, hats, or other warm items to support the Lakeshore Community Support Centre.
Over the winter, the Silver Stars teams will perform at various venues, including intermissions at Lakeshore Canadiens, LaSalle Vipers and Windsor Spitfires hockey games.
Skate Lakeshore is a non-profit organization run by volunteers. It offers skating programs for people aged three to adult and will host its first Provincial Series Competition at the Atlas Tube Centre from Feb. 14 to 16, 2025.
