Blue Box Tips The sport of speedskating in the North Halton region received a boost earlier this month when the Ontario Trillium Foundation presented the four-year-old organization with a $15,000 grant. Several of the Milton Speedskating Club members are from the Halton Hills area and membership has doubled in size in each of the last three years since its founding. The club plans to purchase 35 pairs of long-bladed new generation skates with the grant money in order to accommodate the expected growth in membership. So far, weve had to rely a lot on hand-me- down equipment from other more established clubs, which we are grateful for of course, but it will be really nice for North Halton kids to have access to new state of the art speed skates, said club president Tony Geng. We are looking forward to see a lot of new personal bests and club records set this coming season. The volunteer-run club introduces youths to the sport with a four-week Learn to Speedskate programs, as well as weekly lessons for intermediate and advanced skaters.
