National Volunteer Week is taking place this year from April 14-20, 2024 and Skate Ontario is looking forward to celebrating those who give back selflessly to our sport. We truly could not operate and develop figure skating in Ontario without these incredible individuals and want to thank each and every one of them for their contributions.
Volunteers deserve to be celebrated 365 days a year! That’s why Skate Ontario has introduced ‘high five a volunteer.’ The volunteer recognized will receive a personalized email from Skate Ontario with why they were ‘high fived’ as well as receive a personalized, official certificate. They will also have the chance to be featured on the Skate Ontario website and social media channels.
