What you need to be a Program Assistant (PA)

A membership with Skate Canada is required prior to stepping on the ice for insurance purposes.

We can help you get registered if you have questions.  The membership is approximately $40.00.  If you commit to 8 CanSkate lessons (equivalent to 8 hours of on ice CanSkate help,) the club will reimburse you for your membership.

**Please note, if you are a club member, you will not get reimbursed as a membership is required for insurance purposes for all other skating programs**

What's in this for you??

-If you decide to help us run our CanSkate program, you will earn 1 hour of volunteer time for each CanSkate class you help with.

-If you don't need any volunteer hours, but still want to help our club's CanSkate Program, we will pay you an honorarium of $5.00/hour at the end of the skating season for each hour you volunteered.

-Something amazing to put on your resume

-Endless gratitude from the coaches and the skaters and skater's parents

-Repayment of your Skate Canada membership if you are not a club member and you complete 8 hours of CanSkate help.
