Payment
Application forms must be filled out completely and payment must be included for registrations to be accepted.

Payment must be made in full, in Canadian funds, by cash, cheque, Visa or MasterCard.

In the event of cheques returned for insufficient funds, club policy states that any person having issued two or more returned cheques to the club must make all subsequent payments to the club by either cash, certified cheque, money order or bank draft. A $25 administration fee will be charged for all NSF cheques.

All known cancelled days have been factored into session pricing.

$2.15 of registration fee is applied to Skate Canada skater insurance.

Changes to Schedule
All WRSSSC programs are subject to change based on enrollment. Affected skaters will be notified, then the revised schedule posted.

Refunds
The WRSSSC does not offer refunds/credits without a medical note. All requests for refunds/credits must be put in writing addressed to the Board of Directors and must be accompanied by a doctor’s note. Skaters must have missed a minimum of five consecutive sessions due to that illness or injury before a refund/credit is considered.

The only exception to this policy is where there is consensus between the coach and parent/guardian that the child is too young to benefit from the lessons arranged. Such requests must be submitted by the end of the child’s fourth lesson.

Any refund/credit request after the final day of skating before the seasonal break will be issued as a Credit Voucher towards future ice costs (transferable to other family members) within one year.

A $25 administration fee will be charged for any refund or credit. All known cancelled days have been factored into pricing.

The WRSSSC does not guarantee refunds/credits in the event of ice cancellations by the Arena, by mechanical breakdown, or acts of nature.
