Continuing the Legacy in Figure Skating | VIEW IN BROWSER
Dear Team Canada Fan,
Figure skating is driven by determination, dedication and a desire to express yourself with artistic passion on the ice. The Toller Cranston Memorial Fund Athlete Award recognizes these attributes in some of our top Next Gen skaters who exemplify this in their sport.
The award honours the late Toller Cranston, a man known for his creativity, freedom of expression and dramatic showmanship. Although he never received an Olympic or World title, his unique artistic vision forever changed the sport of figure skating. For Toller, skating was more than a sport, it was a way to express himself.
The Toller Cranston Memorial Fund Athlete Award celebrates Next Gen skaters who display exceptional artistry on ice at the Novice and Junior levels.
The Toller Cranston Memorial Fund was established by the Canadian Olympic Foundation shortly after Toller’s death in 2015. The fund is a way to show appreciation for the artistry he brought to the world of figure skating and to financially assist young skaters who possess the same artistic values and style as he did.
On Saturday April 20th, what would have been Toller's 70th birthday, Artworld Fine Art, Phillippa Cranston Baran and the Canadian Olympic Foundation invite you to an evening of art celebrating the life and artistic legacy of this iconic Canadian artist and athlete. A beautiful and creative way to raise funds for our next generation figure skaters in honour of Toller's legacy.
