additional officials will be given priority consideration when applications are reviewed.
You can find the applications on the Members Only section of the Skate Canada website

appropriate application form. You can also choose to email me at the address below and
I can send you the application form. Feel free to inform other interested colleagues and
have them email me for details. All applications should be submitted to the Technical Officials Chair (see below).
Interested applicants are reminded to review the Officials Definition and Appointment

**Note: It is recommended that Technical Specialist candidates should have experience
as a former skater, coach, judge, referee or Technical Controller at the Challenge level. It
is also recommended that Technical Controller candidates should have section level
referee qualifications in the discipline associated with initial appointment to Sectional
Technical Controller. Technical Specialists can apply for training as a Controller in the
discipline in which they are already qualified as a Specialist.
