 News from the Calgary Zone of the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing

Volunteer Registration Sept. 12!
CADS Calgary provides one of the largest and most active adaptive skiing and boarding programs in the country - and that's all thanks to our amazing volunteers! Each year our student demand increases, which means so does our need for volunteers, both as instructors and indoor/outdoor helpers.
If you are considering volunteering with us this season, please join us at our upcoming Volunteer Registration Session...

Volunteer Registration Day: Sunday, September 12
Place: Canada Olympic Park - Ski Jump Tower, 5th floor
Time: Anytime 10 am - 1 pm   Note: This session was previously scheduled to run until 2 pm but due to an event at COP that will have the road to the Ski Jump Tower closed, there is a need for us to end the session at 1 pm instead.
CADS Membership Fee: $40 payable by cash, cheque, Visa, MasterCard or debit

Police Checks
All CADS volunteers are required to complete a vulnerable sector police check. Please bring two pieces of government-issued ID (one of which includes a photo) with you to registration. There is no additional fee for this process.
