Help Us Find New Ice!

For over 50 years, the Racquet Club of Victoria Skating Club has been based out of the Ian Stewart Complex at the University of Victoria. In 2026 this facility will be torn down with no replacement planned. The municipality of Saanich has indicated that a possible replacement will be constructed in the Gordon Head area but with no firm timeline.

The Ian Stewart Complex has been our home for over 50 years and has facilitated the development of thousands of skaters on Vancouver Island . This rink has been an invaluable resource for the community and is utilized by thousands of Saanich and Victoria residents every year.

Physical activity is one of the most influential ways we can spend time and it transcends age and gender. Facilities like the Ian Stewart Complex allow a safe space for people of all ages to thrive. Recreation centres become a focal point for the community, where people gather and connect.

For over half a century, the Racquet Club of Victoria Skating Club has created an environment for young people to thrive. The club has helped develop beginners to national level skaters and everything in between. The most significant contribution, however, has been the development of these individuals as productive and happy humans who become active and healthy members of the community. Being physically active helps people thrive in other parts of their lives.

We are enthusiastically seeking a new home for our skaters before our current home closes in 2026. If you are able to help, please contact us!
