The 1997 Canadian Figure Skating Championships were held on February 6–9, 1997 in Vancouver, British Columbia. They were the figure skating national championship which determines the national champions of Canada. The event was organized by Skate Canada, the nation's figure skating governing body. Skaters competed at the senior, junior, and novice levels in the disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. The results of this competition were used to pick the Canadian team to the 1997 World Championships.
After this year, novice-level events were held no longer held at the Canadian Championships. They were reintroduced at 2010.[1]
Skate Canada has announced a trial format in 2010 where the BMO Skate Canada Junior Nationals will be combined with the BMO Canadian Figure Skating Championships. 2010 will be the first year since 1997 that novice skaters will participate in the event along with the senior and junior levels.
