You can be part of our journey to Milan! Speed skating is Canada’s most successful Olympic sport, and our athletes are on track to produce more podium results at the 2026 Olympic Games in Italy. Your support is critical to their success.

Make Your Mark

As competition heats up during this crucial Olympic season, your support will help boost athlete performance in training and competition. All funds raised will be invested directly into the High-Performance programs that guide the development of Canada’s best speed skaters.

We have two generous partners who have stepped up to match $20,000 in donations this season – meaning your support will have twice the impact!

Legacy Giving

A legacy gift (also called planned giving) is a way to support a cause you care about through your estate plans – most commonly by leaving a charitable gift in your Will (a “bequest”) that takes effect after your lifetime. By including Speed Skating Canada in your plans, you can help future generations of Canadian athletes and the speed skating community thrive—on and off the ice.

Why consider a legacy gift?

Create a lasting impact on Canadian sport community by supporting the future of speed skating in a way that reflects your values. A legacy gift allows you to make a meaningful impact without affecting your finances today, and may offer tax benefits to your estate.

What your gift can support

Your legacy gift can be directed to Speed Skating Canada’s greatest need or to a priority that matters most to you, including athlete development, coaching and technical leadership, safe sport and athlete wellbeing, grassroots participation, equipment and innovation, or national team and major event preparation.

Common ways to leave a legacy

Legacy giving to Speed Skating Canada can include a gift in your Will, such as a specific amount, a percentage, or the residue of your estate. Speed Skating Canada can also be named as a beneficiary of certain assets in your estate, or explore included with other planned gifts like securities or insurance, with guidance from your professional advisor.
