2024-25 Recruitment Evening

2024-25 Recruitment Evening

Join the Vancouver Island Adaptive Snowsports Society in person on Tuesday, October 23rd at 7pm at the Filberg Centre in Courtenay, to chat with us and find out more information about becoming an instructor.

Our organisation is 100% volunteer run and the program has grown in recent years to a strong and dedicated team of over 100 volunteers/instructors enthusiastically supported by the Mt. Washington operations staff.

MWAR provides space in the main lodge for our organization to call home as well as accommodating our Nordic branch at the Raven lodge. Along with providing subsidized student lift tickets and equipment rental for VISAS participants, they also give staff passes to VISAS instructors that qualify (through service and dedication).

Volunteers needed for Nautical Days!

We’re sending another call out for more volunteers for the Beer Garden at Nautical Days.
We are looking for volunteers to help with setup on Friday Aug 2, servers with their “Serve it Right” and helpers to take orders, sales, and bus tables throughout the weekend, and finally a crew for final cleanup on Tuesday Aug 5.
This is our big “off season” fundraiser and it takes all of us who are available to help make it successful.
