The Skate Canada International is an annual international figure skating competition held as part of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. It is organized by Skate Canada. Medals may be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance.

Toller Shalitoe Montague Cranston was a Canadian figure skater and painter. He won the 1971–1976 Canadian national championships, the 1974 World bronze medal and the 1976 Olympic bronze medal. Despite never winning at the World Figure Skating Championships due to his poor compulsory figures, he won the small medal for free skating at the 1972 and 1974 championships. Cranston is credited by many with having brought a new level of artistry to men's figure skating.
