I am excited to report that the Township has adopted a Volunteer Ice Rink Policy.  All  Rink volunteers will now be members of the newly formed Everett Volunteer Neighbourhood Group under the Municipal Rink Committee.  This means that a separate volunteer committee (not associated with EPIC) will install, maintain and operate the Central Park Rink and be covered under the Municipality’s Insurance.

What does this mean?
The Township will allow Volunteer Neighbourhood Groups (like ours in Everett) through the direction of the newly formed Outdoor Rink Committee to install, maintain and operate outdoor ice rinks at approved Township locations.
Next Steps
All Central Park Ice rink Volunteers need to attend a brief Training Session.  This will allow volunteers to be covered under the Municipality’s Insurance.
When:  Sunday January 24th at 2pm- Everett Fire Hall- Jim Wales Room
Discussion Points:
  • Appoint Volunteer Coordinator- To  act as the liason between the Municipality and volunteers, Fire Dept. re: flooding, Maintain Maintenance schedule. (I will not be taking on this role)
  • All to sign Volunteer Agreement
  • Next steps re: rink building/timelines
The municipality has already ordered signs which should arrive next week which will be posted at the rink.
Thank you to everyone who has worked so diligently on this project…we will be skating in Everett this winter!
