Job Board

The Sioux Lookout Skating Club is a strong, professional, inclusive and sustainable organization with sound governance, operations and commitment to continuous improvement. Our vision is to foster an environment that creates confident, engaged, and resilient community-minded individuals. This guides our mission to provide members of the Sioux Lookout Skating Club with athletic development opportunities through the delivery of Skate Canada programming and quality coaching. 

We currently offer CanSkate, STARSkate and quality off-ice athletic development programming to members through team coaching and the Club Coach Model. The Sioux Lookout Skating Club is a proud member of the Skate Ontario CanSkate and STAR 1-5 Excellence program, and has been recognized as “Exceeded” in both programs. 

Our club has seen significant growth and development during the past three seasons as the initial participant of the Skate Ontario Club Modernization Pilot Program. With the support from Skate Ontario, we modernized on-ice programming and developed a strong off-ice component. We aim to maintain and build upon this growth in the years to come as we inspire a love of skating and the development of strong character among our members.

The Sioux Lookout Skating Club is currently seeking a Regional Trained Coach (or higher) to join our coaching team as a Lead Coach for STARSkate programming. This coach will be responsible for leading the coaching team in the planning and delivery of quality, athlete-centered STARSkate programming.

At the Sioux Lookout Skating Club, relationships matter. We are proud of the family atmosphere we have built among our coaches, skaters, volunteers, and families.

We are committed to supporting the successful candidate and are open to flexible scheduling and programming arrangements that work for both the coach and the Club.
