Volunteer opportunities
We need volunteers for the Bass Lake Woodlands Park and Washago Community Centre outdoor rinks. Volunteers must be able to work outdoors in the cold and be available weeknights and weekend nights. Training is provided. The outdoor rinks are volunteer-dependent, meaning that they can't exist without community members willing to support them.
Volunteer duties would include but are not limited to:
- shoveling snow from the ice surface
- watering (flooding) down the rink
- ensuring the skating surface is in overall good condition
- reporting ice conditions to Township staff
To help out, please complete the Outdoor Rink Volunteer form.
Rink openings are weather dependent and will be announced.
Hockey and figure skating
