Greetings!

With snow and colder weather approaching, our thoughts turn to the neighborhood outdoor rink!

We are looking for both Adult volunteers and Student workers (rink maintenance and rink monitor). Having a strong group of volunteers and workers goes a long way towards a successful skating season.

Please email rink@qualicum.org for additional information or if interested.

  • Adult Night Worker (volunteer)
    • Fully “own” an assigned night, overseeing snow removal and surface flooding
    • In case of absence, responsible for finding an Adult replacement
    • Manage and coordinate assigned student workers, finding replacement student worker if a student is unavailable
  • Adult Helper (volunteer)
    • Assist with pre-season base ice layer. Requires light water flooding throughout various times of the day
    • Help with snow removal after heavy snowfall. Work is typically done in the morning after a snowfall.
    • Nightly rink maintenance assistance if available
  • Student Helpers – Rink Maintenance (paid)
    • Perform ice surface maintenance, 9pm-10:30pm nightly
    • Includes shovelling, snow blower operation, water hose setup/tear-down, flooding, etc
    • Need students assigned to specific nights, as well as additional workers during snow storms
  • Student Helpers – Rink Monitor (paid)
    • Monitor/observe skating activities when the rink is open (approx 4pm – 9pm M-F and 12:00-9pm weekends)
    • Perform light shoveling/snow removal
    • Check on change room (if open)
