The Skate Assist Program aims to encourage skaters to be ambassadors for inline skating in our community. It is a community project based on volunteerism. It is skateline's effort to provide free instruction on basic skating techniques for beginners and rules of the road to promote safe skating in our parks. We hope that skaters registered with us would take this opportunity to volunteer and help us promote inline skating as a safe, fun and healthy activity for all. This project is launched with the support and endorsement of the National Parks Board.
