The cost of the clinic is $45.00, however you will have the opportunity to earn $5.00 for each NHJ2020 game that you work. . A Statistician clinic, at no cost to volunteers, will be held in early December, date to confirmed. There will also be a Curling Canada Stats program to practice with after the workshop date.

Also needed for EACH of the draws is a Master of Ceremonies. Duties would include introducing teams and any dignitaries or sponsors attending the draw. Multiple volunteers are required for this position.

We require volunteers to assist with the procession on and off the ice for the January 18th opening ceremony and two closing ceremonies on January 26th.
