Cutting Edge Membership Policies
Parent Role
The term “parent” refers to parents and guardians of skaters.
Parents and their skaters will follow the Club’s MFSC Ice Etiquette Rules or they will be asked to leave the ice rink.
If the parent is new to MFSC for Cutting Edge Summer Skating only, they are an associate member and do not have voting rights.
Other Club memberships are as outlined in our regular STARSkate Policies
Skaters are not permitted on the ice without a Coach present.

MFSC Cutting Edge uses MFSC’s website, www.mississaugafsc.com, and email to communicate important information to its parent members. It is the responsibility of each member to ensure that the club has the correct email on file and to regularly check the website and email for updates.
Members will not be contacted by other means unless there is an emergency.
