Interested in volunteering
for sliding events?

Volunteering is an excellent way to get involved and support the sport community in your area. If you enjoy the outdoors, like meeting new people and are interested in gaining experience volunteering at sliding events (skeleton, bobsleigh and luge), there are many exciting opportunities to consider.

Event volunteers assist with welcoming, transportation, media relations and customer service. If you're looking to support local sport events as an event volunteer, please consult the available positions and apply today.

Sport technical volunteers are needed to organize, coordinate and adjudicate sliding races. These volunteers require training and certification for specific roles to support a wide variety of local, regional and national events.

Officials' certification courses:
In conjunction with our national and international sliding sport organizations, officials' certification courses are developed at provincial, national and international qualification levels. If you're interested in becoming a certified official, or upgrading your current certification, training opportunities are available.

To learn more about current opportunities, sport history, rules and events pertaining to sliding sports, we invite you to visit the organizations' websites listed below.
