Volunteer at an outdoor rink

Make a difference in your community: join hundreds of volunteers who devote their time to provide access to winter activities for all. We are looking for community members, individuals, associations, non-profit organizations, service clubs, volunteer groups and sports leagues, to operate community outdoor rinks. Funding, tools and access to lighting and water are available.

How to get involved

  • Operate an outdoor rink
  • Assist with the maintenance of the ice surface
  • Supervise the rinks and field house
  • Run weekly children’s programs
  • Organize a winter carnival at your rink
