7th annual
Great Canadian Kilt Skate: Home edition!

December 31, 2020 to February 28, 2021

For 2021, we are launching a new kilt skate for pandemic times—a stay-in-your-bubble, pan-Canadian event: the Great Canadian Kilt Skate: Home Edition! Everyone, everywhere can join: on your backyard rink, on the outdoor rink at the community centre, on the frozen pond down the road. To participate, simply put on your tartan or kilt, head out on the ice and share your photos and video clips!

Be sure to include the #KiltSkate2021MTL hashtag to your social media posts so that you're counted in the contest to see who wins the Kilt Skate Capital of Canada. If you don’t use social media, you can email your photos and videos to us.

For more information about the Great Canadian Kilt Skate: Home Edition, please visit the Kilt Skate website.

“Our faces may be masked, but our knees will be bare.”

We are pleased to introduce Scottish Affairs Canada as one of our partners. Scotland and Canada have enjoyed a special relationship for centuries. Please click on the Scotland is Now logo and find out about some of the connections that bind our two countries together.

About the Kilt Skate
In January 2015, Montreal’s St Andrew’s Society joined with other Scottish societies in Ottawa, Saskatoon, Calgary and Winnipeg and held the Great Canadian Kilt Skate. We invited everyone to come to the Skating Rink at the Vieux-Port de Montreal in kilt, tartan or other Scottish gear and skate! Many came and enjoyed the whirl of the pipes and joy of skating on great ice. Since then it has become an annual event.
