Hello Everyone!
C.J. Skateboard Park & School is very excited to announce that we have been accepted to participate in an online grant program and we need your support!
Starting January 4th 2011 everyone will be able to vote online for their favourite cause. Please visit http://pep.si/edDzJC to help us in our efforts to reduce the division between youth and youth with disabilities in our community. You will be able to vote once per day, and the last day to vote will be Feb 28th 2011.
Skateboarding can break down communication barriers and allow children to be on a level playing field. Even though skateboarding is an individual sport, it encourages kids to support and teach others around them. C.J. Skateboard Park & School is a place to build lasting friendships and to develop the tools kids need to become leaders in our community.
Thank you in advance for your votes!
C.J. Skateboard Park & School Team

Also, Friday nights will be changing on April 1st at C.J.’s! Bank of Montreal Insurance has helped us to sponsor another recession session. With their help, Friday nights will now be "BMO Insurance Friday's" which will be 7pm-10pm for only $5! This new night will be effective from April 1st - November 30th for the next 3 years. We are also working on a sponsor for Tuesday's, Wednesday's and Saturday's!!
PROGRAMS
We have exciting news about a new program!
This program will replace our current Tuesday / Thursday beginner group classes. Our weekend beginner classes will continue. Remember to register for these programs by January 14th.
Family Skate is the best way to have fun with your children, every Sunday from 10am until 12pm. Our Family Skate program is a one hour group lesson, followed by one hour of open skate. The best part about Family Skate is that it is only $10 and includes any rentals needed
SPONSORS
We would like to thank all of our new and old sponsors for all of the support we receive. Thank you to Bank of Montreal Insurance for making our new non winter Friday night recession session possible (which will be starting April 1st - November 30th). We are looking for more sponsors, to help us create more recession sessions Monday through Thursday, and are hoping to have more by the end of January. West 49 (also a newcomer) has donated many prizes for our upcoming contests, including Redstar Decks and West 49 Gift cards!
We would like to also thank Thomas Power, a student from the Oasis Skateboard Factory for donating his time and effort into making us a skateboard deck from scratch, which we will be displayed in the lobby. If you have any old Skateboard decks that you no longer need, please drop them off at the park, as we are collecting skateboards to hang on our wall and create a mural.
Please remember that C.J Skateboard Park is a NOT-FOR-PROFIT Corporation specializing in hosting a safe environment for all kids including those with special needs.
We are still in particular need of the following from sponsors:
- An enclosed trailer to move portable ramps for off-site demos
