WE'RE HIRING - OUTDOOR RINK CREW MEMBERS

Help us keep the ice cold, the skates moving, and the neighbourhood playing!

La Perle Community League is looking for one or two awesome people from the neighbourhood to clear snow, flood the rinks, and maintain the ice so it's ready for skaters throughout the 2026/27 ice season.

If you love winter, don't mind the cold, enjoy working outdoors, and think there's something pretty special about watching a bunch of neighbourhood kids chase a puck around a sheet of ice — we might have the job for you!

This is a seasonal position for the 2026/27 winter season, with scheduling designed around rink conditions and weather.

Interested? Send us your name, contact information, and a little bit about yourself/your experience to [email protected].
