St. Andrew’s Society of Winnipeg hosts the Great Canadian Kilt Skate
The St. Andrews Society of Winnipeg hosted the Great Canadian Kilt Skate on Sunday at Assiniboine Park’s Riley Duck Pond.
“You don’t have to be Scottish, wear a kilt, a tartan or even plaid to come out for a skate – whether it’s 10 minutes or two hours. And we won’t ask if you like the bagpipes or have ever tried haggis,” said Evelyn Mitchell, past president of the Society and this year’s organizer. The event was free to all and ran from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. Members of the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada were there decked out in their kilt uniforms.
The Great Canadian Kilt Skate was started in 2015 by the Scottish Society of Ottawa and is held in several cities around the country. It has extended to countries like Australia and the U.S., known as the Great Kilt Skate. Winnipeg won the title of the Great Canadian Kilt Skate in 2021.
