The Art of Performance acknowledges the systemic barriers that lead to underrepresentation in figure skating. A limited amount of scholarships are available for any individuals who face financial barriers. Priority will be given to skaters who identify as Black, Indigenous, or racially marginalized. Selected participants will be contacted directly.
Indigenous peoples are descendants of the original inhabitants of Turtle Island/North America or original inhabitants of other countries. In this question we are asking about Indigenous peoples originating in Turtle Island/North America.
Racially marginalized person is a term used to describe the identities of those who may have experienced the social effects of marginalization based on notions of race, ethnicity, or “origin.” We use “racially marginalized person” instead of “race” to acknowledge the social impact of racialization in Canada. In this question, we are asking about non-Indigenous racialized persons.
