Volunteers Needed: Frank Ryan Park Outdoor Rink

Frank Ryan Park’s community rink can only operate with the support of generous volunteers. Please sign up HERE to help keep the field house open for our friendly neighbourhood skaters! How demanding is this role? The only thing you need to do is show up with a cell phone.

You can choose to play hockey outside or read a book inside. It’s a great activity for new residents to meet your neighbours or for High Schoolers over 16 in need of volunteer hours! Retired? Regularly coming out to skate already? Sounds perfect! Those expressing interest will be contacted with detailed information on scheduling and the limited responsibilities involved. Sign up HERE.

If you have any questions please contact qtncommunity@gmail.com and we will put you in touch with the rink coordinator, Caroline.
