Program Assistants – A Valued Part of Our Club

The Sioux Lookout Skating Club relies on our STARSkaters to volunteer as Program Assistants (PAs) for the CanSkate program. This is an important part of our club programming and provides a meaningful opportunity for skaters to give back, develop leadership skills, and support the next generation of skaters.

All Junior STARSkaters are required to PA on the evening they are registered to skate. If registered to skate 4 nights, then the skater is required to PA a minimum of 1 CanSkate session a week. 

All Senior STARSkaters are required to come out a minimum of 1 CanSkate session a week. We encourage 2 sessions when possible. 

If a skater is unable to PA on a given night, it is their responsibility to find a replacement. If a replacement cannot be found, please notify the CanSkate Lead, Kayleigh, as soon as possible.

Serving as a PA not only strengthens our CanSkate sessions, but also helps build a strong, connected club community.
