Hi Everyone,
As we prepare for another skating season at the SAHC skating rink, it is evident that we require more ice rink maintenance volunteers for snow removal and flooding. A typical rookie crew member’s time commitment is just 3 outings in total (2 hours each).
Please consider joining the ice rink maintenance crew, no experience is required, as the crew offers on the job training to learn the art and science of ice making. We have a snowblower and a power brush to make the job easier.
In a typical year, our most experienced members start building-up the ice surface in late November (weather dependent) and the rink is ready for skating in early December. The bright Calgary sunshine and Chinook winds usually end our season by early March. Here are some of the benefits of being on the rink crew – giving back to the community by providing a healthy outdoor activity for all ages; obtaining fresh air and exercise (no need to go to a gym); end of season volunteer party (held at a secret location).
Dave Browne, the Ice Rink Coordinator, can be contacted at

Just a reminder that your SAHCA membership helps pay for the rink costs. Fees are $25 for families and $15 for seniors. Additional family members (18+) are $5. There are lots of options for purchasing a membership. You can e-transfer the money to this email address using the answer Gwen21 or you can drop something off in the locked hall mailbox or my mailbox at 1208 Kingston St NW. You can also send me an email or call me at 403-282-8309 and I can pick it up. Make sure you include your name, address, phone number and email address.
