(April 17, 2007)

As Canada celebrates National Volunteer Week from April 15-21, Skate Canada would like to take this additional opportunity to thank the estimated 10,000 volunteers that are involved in skating activities across the country.

Volunteering is a selfless act providing the gift of time, energy and commitment to our sport and helps thousands of skaters participate in a sport they love. Skate Canada would like to send each volunteer a heartfelt thank you for all your efforts in promoting our sport and hope that you will continue to find satisfaction and enjoyment in what you do.
