Ice on Whyte volunteer opportunity
Posted by Hans Granholm on Jan 27, 2017
Anyone is welcome to sign up
Here are some tips for the volunteers:
Parking: -- The Strathcona Farmers Market parking lot on the east side of Gateway Blvd. (103 Street) is free for 'Ice on Whyte' patrons and volunteers. Go as far north as you can.
The Hut: -- It is adequately heated and comfortable. One chair is provided.
RCES brochure: -- place the new tri-fold brochure stand on the outside ledge. More brochures inside the large white envelope marked "Strathcona Rotary". Perhaps fold a few more in your spare time.
Every year, the Ice on Whyte Festival grabs Canadian winter by the snowballs and carves it into a wicked combo of ice and art. Just imagine, 155,000 pounds of ice is dumped just to prep for this week long party – on purpose! So, get your toque on and come down to the International Ice Carving Competition, ride a gigantic ice slide, or learn to carve ice just like a pro. One of the hottest shows is on the last night, where you’ll see fire melt an ice sculpture right back into H20. You’ll be right in your element. Get it?
In honour of Canada turning the big 150 in 2017, some historically iconic Canadian characters will be making a special appearance at the End of Steel Park during the festival. Don't just imagine what life was like for Canada’s ancestors, see for yourself! Listen to stories about Edmonton from fur trading pioneers like Richard Hardisty or hear from Margaret Martin about what life was like for women before they had the right to vote. Experience the stories of ordinary people that shaped our country in a unique and extraordinary way.
