STARSkate Coordinator
Hi, my name is Caitie Byno and I have been coaching for 15 years! I started out
as a PA with my local skating club when I was 12, before pursuing my CanSkate and
StarSkate coaching qualifications. Teaching skating led me to my career path outside of
the rink, where I can be found teaching French Immersion!
I started skating when I was 3 years old and continued through to my adult years. I have achieved triple gold status
in Dance, Skills and Interpretive, and passed what was previously my Senior Bronze
FreeSkate.
One of my favourite parts of coaching and skating is moving to different
types of music and trying out different styles!
Outside of the rink, I can be found spending time enjoying nature, reading a good book
with a cup of tea, watching an Avengers movie or playing board games.
I am presently available and accepting private lessons. You can speak to me at the
arena or reach out by email.

Hi, I am Marissa Smith and I am one of the Canskate Coaches this year. This is my second year coaching but I have been figure skating for 12 years and was a Program Assistant for 6 years before that.
I am a grade 12 student and am hoping to go to university for child and youth studies,
with the dream of becoming a teacher.
I am so excited to be coaching this year and to share my love and passion for skating
with others.
