A minimum of 16 hours (per skater family) are required to fulfill your obligation to the Club. However, due to the evolving provincial health guidelines and restrictions our volunteer coordinator will contact you on required tasks and quantity of hours needed.
To ensure parent participation, a Volunteer Activity Deposit of $200 post-dated cheque (payable to Richmond Rockets Speed Skating Club)is required for each registered skater. Once minimum volunteer hours reached; your deposit will be returned to you at the AGM.
