Partners
Partnerships are all about teaming up to do amazing things. We combine our strengths and know-how, supporting each other every step of the way. Our partners are a big part of this adventure, and we're excited to show them off right here. If you're interested in partnering with the Professional Ski Instructors of Canada, reach out to us at info@psic.pro.
Programme d'enseignement des sports de glisse (PESG)
This season marks a new milestone for the PSIC with the establishment of a collaboration agreement with the Programme d'enseignement des sports de glisse (PESG) in Quebec! While less known outside of Quebec the PESG has been training and certifying instructors in Quebec for many years and works under the umbrella of the Association des stations de ski du Québec (ASSQ).
This initiative stems from a shared goal: to make training more accessible for ski instructors across Quebec and the rest of Canada by building more bridges between organizations and drawing on the complementary nature of our expertise.
For the PSIC, this partnership represents an opportunity to strengthen ties within the industry, encourage knowledge sharing, and offer expanded development opportunities for both trainers and instructors—all while maintaining the quality and relevance of our program. Please note that PSIC materials will be progressively translated into French over the course of the season.
Over the coming months, we will be revealing new opportunities created by this collaboration and how they will benefit trainers, instructors, and snow sports schools. We’re stoked!
Coaching HER®
PSIC members will soon have access to transformative resources designed to help coaches and instructors like you challenge conventional norms and rethink what it means to coach girls.
As part of a new Organizational Champion designation with Coacher HER, we look forward to new steps in training our Trainers, communicating with members, and helping us all "up our game" as we lead with awareness, intention, and inclusivity.
Research shows that fewer girls play sports compared to boys, girls enter sport later, dropout earlier and at twice the rate of boys. How a girl feels about her coach is an important factor whether or not she continues to play. Coaches are powerful role models who impact girls.
Learning how to coach girls gives coaches the knowledge and tools to challenge limiting norms, respond to girls' unique experiences, and create sport environments where every athlete feels seen, supported, valued, and empowered to thrive.
