The Sunshine Coast Skating Club (SCSC) presented recent Elphinstone Secondary graduate Caitlin Jarvis with a $500 scholarship on June 28.
Caitlin has been a long-time SCSC member. Some of her most notable achievements include: passing gold tests in Freeskate, Skills, and Interpretive by the age of 12; carrying the Olympic Torch through the community; representing our zone at BC Winter Games; and in 2012 being the recipient of the National StarSkate Award.
Caitlin not only represented the club as a skater for many years, but both she and her mother, Jill Marie Jarvis, have represented the club by volunteering at the regional, provincial and national level in a number of capacities. Caitlin also volunteered for a number of years as a program assistant with the Club.
She will be attending UBC Okanagan in a nursing program and attributes many of her life’s successes to life lessons learned through figure skating.
