Host community public skating nights to increase awareness of the Oval, and to provide development and outreach opportunities for the sport
Hold free public skating daily to allow equal opportunities for all Winnipeg and Manitoba citizens
Hold competitions to select provincial and national events
Purchase equipment and technology to allow for continual improvements for the facility.
The National Sport Trust Fund (NSTF) is a philanthropic gift-giving program established through the Canadian Council of Provincial and Territorial Sport Federations (CCPTSF) for the development of amateur sport on a national level.

As a RCAAA, they are able to issue an official tax receipt for all qualifying donations of $20 or greater. Sport Manitoba is the Fund Manager in Manitoba.
Susan Auch began speed skating at the age of five on this very Oval. Competing in five winter Olympics over her career, Susan's athleticism and dedication is an inspiration to speed skaters around the world.
