National Volunteer Week is taking place this year from April 27 to May 4, 2025.

Skate Ontario is thrilled to have the opportunity to celebrate those who give back selflessly to our sport. Stay tuned to our website and social media channels during National Volunteer Week, where we will highlight and celebrate volunteers from across the Ontario skating community. Volunteers come in many forms, including but certainly not limited to – event volunteers, event techs, club/skating school volunteers, club/skating school presidents, board members, program assistants, officials, judges, evaluators, data specialists and the list goes on! These remarkable individuals make our sport possible, and we are endlessly grateful for their contributions.

How can you celebrate National Volunteer Week?

You can celebrate National Volunteer Week by saying a simple ‘thank you’ to a club/skating school volunteer who has impacted your skating journey. The possibilities are endless – honour them in person, on social media or you can ‘high five’ a volunteer…

What is ‘high five’ a volunteer?

Volunteers deserve to be celebrated 365 days a year! That’s why Skate Ontario has re-introduced ‘high five a volunteer’ for 2025. Each volunteer who is “high-fived” will have the chance to be featured on the Skate Ontario website and social media channels.

Head to skateontario.org/volunteer and click the ‘High Five a Volunteer’ banner and fill out the survey and recognize an exceptional volunteer today!
