    It's totally normal, living in Canada doesn't mean that you should skate. I am canadian and I have friends who don't know how to skate. However, you should try, it's not that hard and i'm sure that you'll like it. :)

    It's not like swimming and you don't really need lessons. I didn't, anyway. It more just about learning to keep your balance on a slippy surface (although technically ice isn't slippy at all, but don't get me started on the science).

    First time around, you normally pick it up in about 20 minutes. And every time after that, you just need a couple of minutes to refresh yourself (until you get good at it).

    Enjoy yourself! Ice skating is amazing.
