Any member whose account is past due and does not come into paid status within thirty days will be deemed a member “not in good standing” and lose all privileges of membership, including the right to skate in sessions, try badges or Skate Canada tests or competitions.

VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT

Volunteers are what makes this club survive and both a time or financial commitment from each family is a requirement of registration in all skating programs offered.  Not fulfilling your volunteer commitment (time or financial) will deem you as a member “not in good standing”.  We do not collect bond cheques but each family will receive $150 worth of tickets for the Basket of Cheer draw.  1/2 season programs sell $75 worth. All Winter Sport registrations are required to complete 5, 10 & 15 hours per family (depending on the program) of volunteer time towards fundraising, helping with an event, a position on the skating committee, MFSC Executive etc. 


Canskate – full season - 5 Volunteer Hours Required or $200 “buy out”

Shooting Stars – 10 volunteer hours or $300 “buy out”

Intermediate, Juniors and Seniors - 15 Volunteer Hours Required or a $400 “buy out”

Subsequent children enrolled in skating = 3 additional hours of volunteer time or a $150 “buy out”

All 9 week programs – 3 volunteer hours per participate per 9 week program or a $150 “buy out” – should you register in two 9 week programs you will be required to complete 6 hours or buy out for a total of $300

Notes:- If a family wishes not to participate in volunteer hours, they may "buy out” of the program and submit their payment with their registration payment, at which time their name will be removed from the "volunteer call list"

Volunteer tracking is the responsibility of the individual families.  All hours must be signed off on by a member of the executive.

HELMET POLICY

All Canskate Skate Canada members participating up to and including Stage 5 must wear a CSA approved hockey helmet while on the ice. This policy is enforced during all skating activities including competitions, carnival days or any other special on ice activities throughout the season for this level of skater.

The MFSC may choose to expand the use of CSA approved hockey helmets as they see necessary. In general, anyone who lacks good control/balance when skating forward, backward and has difficulty stopping, as well as maneuvering around obstacles on the ice must wear a CSA approved hockey helmet.

A skater beyond a CanSkate Stage 5 level that chooses to wear a CSA approved hockey helmet during a competition or test day will not be subjected to any deductions in relation to the use of a CSA approved hockey helmet.

MFSC shall not in any way be responsible for loss of property, damage, or injuries to persons, including participants while on the premises.

We reserve the right to change categories or ice times at any times during the skating year, cancel programs where minimum registration levels are not met, and pre-empt ice times for test days and competitions.

The MFSC is not required to make up lost time or compensate customers for closing arenas due to inclement weather or emergency facility closures.
