We’re hoping you will join our Maki Rink crew this year!
Maki Rink Crew is looking for community volunteers this winter to help us continue to create a local outdoor space to have fun and be active!
We are looking for both teen and adult volunteers. Here are more details on what we are looking for:
Adult Volunteers:
- Help the crew with on-call snow clearing during snowfalls or flooding the ice (or both!). Any help is very much appreciated!
Youth Volunteers (Teens):
Regularly scheduled shifts and/or on-call when we have big snowfalls so we can have the rink open for skating as soon as possible. Specifically, we are recruiting for:
- After school maintenance and to turn on rink lights
- Weekend morning and afternoon supervisors to make a great rink experience and manage our change rooms.
- On-call snow clearing
Opportunities also include:
- Paid hourly jobs for teenagers available
- Using Maki volunteering hours towards mandatory high school volunteer hours
Why should you join?
Giving back to this incredible community feels amazing. Everyone on our adult volunteer Maki Rink Crew is a CB beauty and lots of fun. When we have a group of 10-12 people all on the rink, 2 blowers going, a bunch of shovels going, the cold crisp weather and laughter is invigorating and infectious + you get energized by working together to accomplish something awesome.
It is a great way to get outside in the cold and have a great workout and feel the contagious happy vibes.
Please Note: We can’t predict when we will have big snowfalls, but you would receive an email and/or text indicating that we need some help and you join if you can. Our clearing happens late afternoon and evenings during the week and anytime on weekends as most of our crew is working or in school during weekdays. A great opportunity for retirees to give back and be part of an awesome crew.
Please connect with me via FB Messenger, email Tim@Agent613.ca or call @ 613-668-0644 to get involved or to learn more.
Maki Rink is 100% built, operated, and maintained by neighbours that volunteer their time to create this amazing rink community and amenity.

I am really looking forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Tim Hewson (Maki Rink Operator)
