Volunteer Credits/Fundraising for the 2024-2025 Season

As you have hopefully read in our Volunteer Policy, at minimum one of the volunteer opportunities you participate in must be considered a financial opportunity.  There are two primary ways to earn financial credits - the Calgary New & Used Ski Sale and Casinos.  These are by far the Clubs' largest fundraisers of the season.  While we were not expecting any casinos until later in the year, we have been awarded 2 in January and as such we all need to step up!  You will find all the details and sign up links below.

Calgary New & Used Ski Sale 2024

Since 1963 the Calgary New & Used Ski Sale has been organized and held as a key fundraiser by the Lake Louise Ski Clubs as well as the Canadian Ski Patrol – Calgary Zone, and the Calgary Ski Club. In recent years attendance has topped 10,000 bargain hunters across the three days of the sale. 
 
The sale is our club's single biggest fundraiser that helps raise the money that directly results in a 20% reduction in club fees.  This year the sale is October 25 to 27 at the Max Bell Centre. Consignment nights will be on October 23 and 24.  Volunteer sign up is now open.  You can sign up here: Ski Sale Sign-up.
​
Sign up soon to get the shift you want and sign up for as many shifts as you like.  This will be one of the last opportunities to get your Financial Volunteer Credits to avoid additional fees.  Of course, our favorite reason to volunteer is that you get access to the Thursday night pre-sale.  A lot of the good gear goes very quickly at the sale, so being there on Thursday gives you a chance to get the best stuff.
​
We look forward to seeing you at the sale this year!  It’s a fun opportunity to meet others from the local ski community while supporting our club as well as a great way to kick off winter.  

Any Ski Sale questions can be directed to Kristin at [email protected].
 
Thanks, from the Lake Louise Ski Club, Ski Sale Management Committee

January 2025 Casinos   Volunteers Needed

Mark your calendar for January 23 - 24, 2025. We are scheduled to run two casinos on these dates, at Pure Casino Calgary and Ace Blackfoot Casino Calgary.

Casinos are a great opportunity to raise significant funds for our clubs. We must fill ALL volunteer positions for both locations, so it is important for each family to commit to at least one shift if possible. 

Working a casino requires no prior experience; on-site training is provided. Volunteers must be 18 years or older. The earlier we fill all roles, the better.

Please sign-up for shifts at either casino location here.
