WRCA needs some fresh faces in a couple of key areas, and I am reaching out to you as one of our proven volunteers to ask for your help in either raising your hand or spreading the word to others in our community.
- Winter Rink Maintenance and Ice Crew Coordinator
Over the past 18 or so years, our Ice Crews have been built and supported by many, but basically led by two people. We have built one of the best volunteer outdoor winter flooding teams and rink facilities in the city and have a well-oiled machine in place with some great teams of experienced volunteers, excellent equipment, and a great safety record. However, it is time for someone else (or a team of two) to step up and take on the Ice Crew and Rink Leadership role. We promise a smooth transition and will of course continue to help keep the fridge stocked and Ollie running!
- Director Portfolio – Facilities
Since our renovation, Roger Lohrey and Pete Gibson have been in charge of keeping our building and facility ship shape. We need a volunteer who may be interested in our building and its upkeep to join the board and transition into this important role. Our excellent staff manage our building on a day-to-day basis, but strategy, guidance, supervision, support, and decision making on building matters are needed. Please give Pete a call, or email [email protected] if you have any interest at all in building related matters, and he can tell you more about the role and how great our staff is in managing the workload for this key board position.
- Director Portfolio – Sports
Dustan Byrnes has been our Sports Coordinator for the past two years, supervising our strong and growing soccer program and helping support and guide our staff on the many sports and recreation programs WRCA is implementing. Dustan is transitioning into a new board role, so the Sports position is available to be filled. Email Dustan at [email protected] if sports are your thing!
There are other volunteer opportunities available at WRCA as well, so please reach out to any board member or our staff if you would like to get involved. With the first snow comes the opportunity to step up, take the torch from failing hands, and make your community a better place!
Regards,
Don Boykiw
