KARS RA IS IN NEED OF A RINK VOLUNTEER!
"I have been the rink operator for the Kars Community Recreation Association for a number of years. Unfortunately, due to family circumstances I will not be able to continue in that capacity.
The Kars rink is in need of a volunteer rink operator. He/she will have to sign with the City as the rink operator, obtain a Level 3 - Vulnerable Sector Police Records Check and be responsible for the flooding, cleaning and maintenance of the rink for the 2021/22 season. In addition, he/she may wish to request volunteers to assist with the rink. For that purpose, the RA will be made available for a meeting(s) called by the rink operator to enlist and organize volunteers.
The work on the rink usually begins in early to mid December and carries on to the end of February/early March. I will conduct a handover, help with the initial organization and do as much as possible to assist the rink operator in his/her responsibilities. In addition, I will continue to help flood and clean the rink as much as possible for the 2021/22 season.
If you are interested, please email the RA at karscra@gmail.com or leave a message at ​613-489-2524."
