The Saskatoon Summer Skating School operates out of the A.C.T. Skating Center. The center has two regulation size arenas, dressing rooms, lockers, a concession and a hall that is used in the summer for off-ice program and as a lounge for skaters. There is excellent accommodation close to the A.C.T. Center as well as to the university. Saskatoon is a beautiful city in the province of Saskatchewan with many attractions and activities. Come join us this year.

The ACT Skating Centre is located at 107 - 105th Street, Saskatoon, in the Sutherland area. Because the University is close by, there are many excellent accommodations available close to the rink.
