Volunteer Requirements: A non-dated volunteer cheque of $200.00 is required per player , due at the first game. Once the volunteer commitment of 6 hours (8 hours in a casino year), has been fulfilled, the cheque will be destroyed (or returned upon request). If you would like the cheque returned, please inform the EYCA admin when handing the cheque in. As the 2024/25 Season is a casino year, our only volunteer opportunities will be casino positions until those have been filled.
Our Casino is taking place November 28 & 29, 2024. It is expected that at least one shift is covered by a parent of every curler. Any casino shift will fulfill your volunteer requirement for the season
