Welcome back! We’re happy to have our returning skaters join us again for another fun-filled skating year and a special welcome to the new skaters and parents joining our club!
We want your child to be happy and successful at The Thornhill Figure Skating Club and believe that you play a key role. That role is to continually show interest in and support for your child. The child who knows that his or her family is interested in and supports their skating career will almost always enjoy greater success. That is why we are asking all parents to consider volunteering for our club!
Whether you are returning member or a new member of our club, we need you!
We are always looking for parents to generously volunteer their time to join the board and/or for various events at our club. During the year we run test days, Homeclub Competitions, Banquets and other smaller events. We cannot run these without you!
All we need is a little bit of your time. Below is a list of different areas in which you can volunteer. Please check the box that corresponds to the event(s) that you would be most interested in volunteering. Please note that if you are an older skater that would like to volunteer, please check off below and make note that you are a skater.
