Volunteer Commitment

Volunteering is a requirement of registration in all the STARSkate levels at the Oakville Skating Club.  You may sign up for volunteer shifts via email or in the club office.  Most shifts are worth 150 points.  If volunteering your time is not possible, you may choose to “buy out” of the Volunteer Commitment for $150 a shift.   Not fulfilling your volunteer commitment deemed a member “not in good standing”.

Disclaimer

The Oakville Skating Club shall not in any way be responsible for loss of property, damage, or injuries to persons, including participants while on the premises.  Membership will be closed for any session which becomes filled.  The Club reserves the right to change categories or ice times at any times during the skating year, cancel programs where minimum registration levels are not met, an pre-empt ice times for test days and competitions.  The Oakville Skating Club and Town of Oakville are not required to make up lost time or compensate customers for closing arenas due to “Acts of God”.
