Volunteering at Outdoor Rinks

Join the hundreds of Ottawa’s community-based volunteers who devote their time to provide access to affordable winter recreational activity every year! Community involvement helps ensure that Ottawa’s outdoor rinks are available free of cost to everyone from toddlers to seniors in neighbourhoods across the city.

Ways to get involved:

  • Assist with the maintenance of the ice surfaces
  • Volunteer a few hours a week to supervise the rinks and field house
  • Help to run weekly children's programs
  • Help organize a winter carnival at your rink

Please approach the rink operator of your neighbourhood rink, or contact the Seasonal Recreation Office at 613-580-2590 or seasonalrecreation@ottawa.ca for more information.
