# 2019 Canadian Figure Skating Championships

The 2019 Canadian Tire National Skating Championships was held from January 13–20, 2019 in Saint John, New Brunswick. Organized by Skate Canada and sponsored by Canadian Tire, the event determined the national champions of Canada. Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dancing on the senior, junior, and novice levels. Although the official International Skating Union terminology for female skaters in the singles category is ladies, Skate Canada uses women officially. The results of this competition were among the selection criteria for the 2019 World Championships, the 2019 Four Continents Championships, and the 2019 World Junior Championships.
Saint John was named as the host in January 2018. Competitors qualified at the Skate Canada Challenge held in Edmonton, Alberta in December 2018.
This was Saint John's first time hosting this event. The city had previously hosted Skate Canada International three times (2013, 1999, and 1995). They also hosted the 1998 World Junior Championships in December 1997.
