Speed Skating Canada (SSC) is the national governing body for competitive speed skating in Canada, overseeing both long track and short track disciplines. Established in 1887, SSC is one of the oldest sport governing bodies in the country and was the first non-European member of the International Skating Union. As a non-profit organization, it is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors elected by its members, which include 13 provincial and territorial speed skating organizations.

SSC supports over 15,000 athletes across the nation by providing training, competition pathways, and development programs for athletes, coaches, and officials. The organization coordinates national competitions, including championships and trials, and collaborates with international bodies to host events like the ISU World Cup series. Through its community engagement efforts, SSC promotes speed skating participation and accessibility, ensuring the sport thrives at all levels in Canada.
