CADS – Edmonton Zone Student Volunteer Policy
CADS participant registration fees are highly subsidized through grants and fundraising events that take place throughout the year. CADS Edmonton is a volunteer run organization therefore we need your support for a variety of program related activities. As such, in order to continue offering high-quality, individualized ski and snowboard instruction at minimal rates, we require your volunteer efforts in some key areas. As a student participant, you can opt out of volunteering and pay $100 or you can sign up below to fulfill the volunteer commitment for the season. Volunteer opportunities are added as they become available.
2022/2023 Student Registration
CADS Edmonton’s registration process for 2022/23 is a one step process through Snowline.
