Challenges
Besides member dues, Skate Canada reliant on strong TV revenue stream–Reality of broadcast landscape has changed–Alternate broadcast platforms brought alongside traditional TV partners
• Redesigned Skatecanada.ca presence• Skatebuzz.com• Facebook
Challenges
• Volunteerism dropping– Skate Canada is reliant on the efforts of
volunteers– Although volunteer levels stable, creation of a
whole new class of officials means that other areas have suffered attrition
New solutions
