Skate Canada

Hi there, I am one of the Co-Chief Therapists for the Skate Canada east/west
challenge, coming up in early December in Mississauga. This is a National
level, 5-day event that we need therapy coverage for. Last year, we had many
Physiotherapists, Athletic Therapists and Chiropractors come out to the
event, and it was a big success.

Skate Canada is looking for therapists to volunteer at the upcoming Skate
Canada East/West Challenge Event. The event will take place at the Hershey
Centre in Mississauga from December 2nd to 6th, 2009, so save the date now.
Physiotherapists, athletic therapists or chiropractors (students and new
grads welcome) are needed to cover the medical clinic that will be set up
on-site, as well as on-ice coverage for all the practice and competition
rinks. There will always be several people working at one time, including
physicians, (and on-site paramedics) so you would never be alone. Students
would automatically be paired with other experienced therapists. This
volunteer opportunity requires a minimum 6 hour shift commitment. If you are
interested, please contact Miriam Granek, Co-Chief Therapist.
If you know of day and shift preferences, then let her know which days would
work for you, as well as time of day preferences (i.e. morning, afternoon
or evening shift). If you are free on a weekday (Wed-Fri), please let
Miriam know, since those shifts are the hardest to fill. (Even if you
don't know your schedule yet, just let Miriam know that you are interested,
and she can put you on the list). You can also sign up online at this Skate
Canada volunteer link:

interested, but know someone else who might be, please pass this
information along to them.
