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.

- 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
