Recreation program support
Outdoor rinks
Each winter, 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 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, complete the Outdoor Rink Volunteer form or contact us.
Sports programs
If your child is registered in one of our sports programs, such as T-ball or Little Kickers, you will receive 50 percent off the registration fee if you come out and volunteer. Please contact us if you're interested.
As a volunteer in recreation, you'll work with our staff to assist in running drills and monitoring the participants. Please note, volunteer opportunities only apply to certain recreation programs.
