Tavistock celebrates 16th annual Synchro Skating Gala

By Diane Danen

All 11 of Tavistock’s Team Unity synchronized skating teams took to the ice on Saturday, Dec. 5, for the annual Team Unity Gala.

The Gala began with the Canadian National Anthem performed by Bria Moore. This year marks the 16th annual Team Unity Gala.

The gala gives each team a chance to present their programs to family and friends as they prepare for a busy competitive season. It’s also a great opportunity for fans to cheer them on and show their support.

Coach Tara Wilken has been coaching synchronized skating in Tavistock for 16 years. She originally came to Tavistock to coach just one team, but since then, the program has grown with 11 teams proudly representing the Tavistock Skating Club this season.

Tavistock Team Unity skaters are preparing for their first competition of the season, taking place Dec. 12-14 in Woodstock.
