Mississauga seeks volunteers to maintain natural ice rinks for winter season

City officials are looking for local residents to help prepare and upkeep outdoor skating and hockey surfaces across the city.

The City of Mississauga is making a final effort to secure enough volunteers to maintain natural ice rinks across various neighbourhoods this winter. According to insauga.com, the city is looking for people to help create spaces for residents to enjoy skating and hockey.

The City of Mississauga says, “While winter may seem far away, natural ice rinks don't happen without local volunteers.”

Applicants must be at least 14 years old and capable of working outside in cold temperatures, which often occurs during the late evening. The city provides all necessary equipment, including heated huts, hoses, shovels, and ice scrapers, while volunteers provide the labor to keep the rinks safe.

Volunteer duties include flooding the ice, clearing snow after storms, monitoring conditions, and performing general upkeep from mid-December to mid-March. Each location requires at least three people, though additional help is encouraged to share the physical workload.

Officials noted that last year, 102 volunteers were responsible for creating these community gathering places.
