Program Assistant Policy.docx

All Milton Home and Non-Home Club Members,

11 years of age or older as of December 31/16

AND a STAR 2 level or higher are required to become a

Program Assistant for Pre-Canskate and Canskate 

ALL PA’S are required to attend the mandatory training clinic. 2017/2018 Date TBC

Skaters will be scheduled for their training session at the start of the season

The Program Assistant Bursary

Program Assistants begin to receive a bursary after a one-time commitment of 20 mandatory sessions.  Your bursary is added to your account at the end of Quickstart, Fall, Winter and Spring Sessions cumulatively, and may only be used for Milton Skating Club merchandise or club fees such as test and registration fees.  The bursary cannot be exchanged for cash value at any time. As a Program Assistant you will receive $5.00 (PreCanskate Session) and $6.00 (Canskate session) per session.

High School Community Hours

You may choose to use your all or a portion of your sessions to complete the required Community Hours, instead of receiving the bursary.  The club will give you a letter at the year-end banquet indicating the number of hours that you have volunteered for the Milton Skating Club as a Program Assistant.

Program Assistant Fleece Jackets

Each new Program Assistant will receive a new, fleece jacket that is yours to keep.  The cost of the jacket is off-set by the 20 mandatory sessions that you are required to complete.  You are expected to wear your jacket each time you help with a Canskate program along with a pair of black pants.

And Finally, Subsidize Your Skating Fees

A large portion of the fees that are brought in from Canskate go directly to cover the ice costs of your sessions!!  Without these Canskate programs your ice fees would be considerably higher and would limit the amount of skating time available to you.

How do I sign up?

As part of your registration process, please select two sessions from the Program Assistant programs available. There are limited spots for each session, and as they fill up, you will no longer be able to select those sessions.

Please select only two sessions.

If you wish to do more, additional sessions may be available after the start of the season. There are also many opportunities throughout the season to help out fellow skaters as well, for competitions or illness.

PROGRAM ASSISTANT SUBSIDY POLICY

As mentioned a large portion of the fees brought into the Club are from our Canskate programs. These fees help subsidize your ice time and keep the cost down.

You may choose to buy out of the subsidy for $500.00(2 sessions of PAing for Hone Club Members)  and $300.00 (1 session of PAing for Home Club Members- this is only for Grade 12 students and Competitve skaters). For Non Home Club Members your Buy Out is $500.00

If you choose not to participate in this subsidy program, you will be expected to attend all scheduled sessions.

If you are unable to make your session you must find a replacement to cover you.

Anyone not finding a replacement or a replacement that does not show for their session will receive an invoice for $20.00 for each session missed to offset the subsidy.
