// About Ontario Skateboarding
Ontario Skateboarding was born from a passion for street culture, creativity, and the freedom that skateboarding brings. What started as a local movement has grown into a thriving community of skaters, artists, and enthusiasts pushing the boundaries of the sport across Ontario. We are here to support, inspire, and connect the skateboarding scene whether you're a beginner or a pro.
Mission
Our mission is to grow and strengthen the skateboarding community in Ontario by providing a platform for skaters to showcase their skills, stay informed about events, and access top-quality gear. We believe in inclusivity, creativity, and the power of skateboarding to bring people together.
Vision
We envision a future where skateboarding is not just a sport but a movement that fosters and encourages self-expression, unity, and innovation. By supporting local skaters, organizing events, and promoting skate culture, we aim to make Ontario a global hub for skateboarding. Let’s ride together, push boundaries, and shape the future of skateboarding in Ontario!

The dedicated team shaping the future of skateboarding in Ontario.
Mike Tredree
Executive Director
Mike is a punk rock Environmental Scientist and Associate Project Manager with a versatile, relentless work ethic. His professional skills pair seamlessly with his leadership role at Ontario Skateboarding Inc. Outside of work, he’s known for organizing epic parties and hitting the pavement on his skateboard. His passion for the sport began in 2001 after a punk show at a Masonic lodge in Cobourg, ON. Since then, he’s embraced the physical and mental challenges of street skating, always chasing that unmatched feeling of landing a trick.
Mike’s mission is to develop a fair, creative, and representative provincial program that reflects the true spirit of skateboarding in Ontario. He believes in building something meaningful with a team of people who share that same drive. His goal is simple: to give more people the chance to experience the sense of freedom, resilience, and community that skateboarding has given him.
Alex Sauret
Art and Digital Media Director

arts, and he constantly pushes creative boundaries. At Ontario Skateboarding, he’s been able to merge his art skills with his love
for skate culture—designing visual content, supporting brand exposure, and helping local
skate shops thrive. Being part of
a not-for-profit has also helped him grow as both a collaborator and creator.

Troy Geoghegan
Art Consult Chair
Troy is an award-winning Associate Creative Director with over a decade of experience creating campaigns for Canada’s top brands. His work has been featured globally and recognized at major international award shows. A natural storyteller and problem solver, Troy thrives on the creative challenge of turning ideas into impact. He holds multiple degrees and a bookshelf full of wisdom (and leather-bound books) that give his flat that rich mahogany vibe.
​
Beneath the ad-world accolades lies a deep love for skateboarding. The satisfaction of nailing a trick—the problem-solving, the persistence—is what first sparked Troy’s creative fire. Today, as a husband and father of twins, he channels that same energy into inspiring the next generation. Through Ontario Skateboarding, Troy hopes to help young skaters embrace creativity, resilience, and the same sense of fun that skateboarding brought into his life.
Sasha Senior
Women's Rep. Chair
Sasha started skateboarding at twelve and never looked back. Though a serious ankle injury stalled her progression for years, she returned to her board with renewed appreciation and love for the culture. That passion led her to open Bliss Skate Shop in Windsor, ON, on March 20, 2020—making her the first Black woman in North America to own a skateboard shop. Sasha has continued to build connections across the global skate community, earning features in Elle Canada, CBC News, Thrasher, and The Berrics.
In addition, Sasha serves full-time in the Canadian Armed Forces and raises her two sons as a single mother. Her approach to life is grounded and authentic: laid-back when needed, but always ready to put in the work. Through Ontario Skateboarding, she aims to uplift the community and promote the skate culture while staying true to her mantra: “Give back to the community positively, lift each other up, and skate fakie but keep it real.”
Will Mackie

With Ontario Skateboarding, Will brings his love for the sport and community to a broader audience. He believes in sharing the mental, physical, and social benefits of skateboarding with others. For Will, it’s not just about skating—it’s about the friendships, creativity, and life lessons that come with it.
