Volunteer
- Sandra Power our volunteer coordinator is looking at how we manage the volunteer program and we’ll have more information before next season.

- We’re looking for a marketing coordinator to work with our sponsors, and for someone to develop a bonspiel logo.
- Please contact Sandra at volunteer@almontecurling.ca if you’re interested in helping out in one of these roles, or if you have another skill to share.
Leagues
