What is the refundable volunteer fee?
Much of our club is run by volunteers. To keep things fair for all club members we are implementing a Refundable Volunteer Fee of $50 which will be automatically charged onto your invoice upon your registration. CanSkaters and Teen Learn to figure skate will not have to pay this fee. This fee will be credited back to your account once you or a family member have fulfilled a volunteer duty by the end of the skating season in June. However, in lieu of your time for volunteer duties you have the option of donating the $50 to the club.
Each year the club holds a number of events, including an Ice Show that runs every 2nd year. In order to keep the cost of these events low for our skaters and their families, we collect a Club Fee of $25 from every skater ONCE during the skating year. CanSkate and teen learn to figure skate will not have to pay this fee. We strive to ensure we keep this charge as low as possible in order to reach our goals of creating a fabulous home club for your children.
