VOLUNTEER/ AGM REQUIREMENT
Watford Skating Club is a Not-For-Profit spearheaded by a volunteer Board of Directors. We rely on the help of volunteers to make regular and special events run smoothly. It's also a great way for parents to meet each other and get a better understanding of what the club is about.
Each family will have a volunteer fee in the amount of $300 applied as a 'hold' to their uplifter account upon registrating their skater(s). If you fulfill your volunteer requirement for the season this billing will not be processed. If you do not fulfill your requirements the volunteer fee will be processed at the end of the 2027 season.
A separate AGM fee in the amount of $100 is applied as a 'hold' to each family's uplifter account upon registering their skater(s). If you attend the Annual General Meeting and sign in on the attendance sheet, this fee will not be charged. If no adult family member or family representative as defined below signs the attendance sheet on May 10, 2027 the fee will be processed on your uplifter account.
What is required?
Each family is required to volunteer twice throughout the season. One pre-carnival event and one time slot at carnival which is our big year end skater showcase on April 10, 2027. Throughout the season there will be fundraisers and special events like Santa Skate & Solo Splash to name a couple. Emails will go out in advance via SignUp Genius for these events, providing family members opportunities to sign up for their volunteer requirements. Most commitments are a couple of hours. Our volunteer coordinator, Carrie Pavey or another board member will record and confirm your attendance.
Annual General Meeting attendance is mandatory. The AGM will be Monday, May 10, 2027 and 1 adult family member will be required to sign in to receive credit for attendance. If you are not able to make it, a family representative may come in your place (1 per household, eg. a grandparent or sister of the adult).
Save the Date: May 4, 2026
As part of our membership with Skate Canada we are required to hold an Annual General Meeting each year at the end of our skating season. Attendance at this meeting is mandatory for our skating families. We require a $100.00 AGM bond cheque post-dated for May 4, 2026 from each family on the first day your child skates.
This meeting is a great way for all families to have a recap on the activities of the season, skater accomplishments as well being involved in the election of members of the Board of Directors.
Your skater will not be able to participate in our programs until we received both post-dated volunteer and AGM bond cheques. Board members will be at the first day of each session to receive these from our participating families.
