the signature community program of PenFinancial Credit Union in Niagara, Ontario. Skates for Kids provides gently used skates to elementary schools in Niagara each fall, giving students access to physical activity and programming within their school.The program collects gently used skates to donate to schools that would not otherwise be able to organize a skating program. To date, the program has donated more than 2,000 pairs of stakes and more than 800 brand new Canadian Standards Association-approved helmets to local elementary schools.As Skates for Kids entered its fth year in 2013, the creditunion decided to take a new look at the program to ensure that it was running as envisioned. This included holding a roundtable discussion with representatives from all the supported schools, topping up the schools’ skate and helmet supplies, and providing complimentary skate days for the students. PenFinancial representatives will also be on hand at all skate days locations to provide hot chocolate and treats.The credit union’s ultimate goal is for every elementary school in Niagara to have an inventory of skates to enable them to implement school-wide skating programs.
