Wanted: Ice Technician – Because Curling Ice Doesn’t Resurface Itself!
(Position for the 2025–2026 Curling Season)

The Kenora Curling Club is on the hunt for someone who takes pride in a job well done—if you’re the type who keeps your lawn looking like a golf course, we need you! No experience? No problem! We’ll provide all the training you need.

Who we’re looking for:
✔️ Reliable, hardworking, and maybe even retired (because wisdom comes with experience!)
✔️ Someone who takes pride in their work—whether it’s a perfect ice scrape or a fresh coat of paint on the houses
✔️ A team player who can keep our curling ice in top-notch condition for leagues, bonspiels, and rentals
✔️ A local legend (or future legend) who enjoys being part of a community

What you’ll do:
🏅 Maintain the best curling ice in town—scraping, pebbling, and fixing knee prints from overly enthusiastic curlers
🏅 Keep the ice and equipment in great shape
🏅 Ensure the plant is running smoothly (daily readings, monitoring)
🏅 Be the unsung hero behind our competitive curlers' success

Our previous Ice Tech set the gold standard and helped many local curlers reach the next level—now it’s your turn to take the torch (or tiger torch) and carry on the tradition.

This position will begin ahead of the 2025–2026 season. It has become available due to unfortunate health circumstances affecting our current Ice Technician. While we are saddened by the situation, we are committed to finding someone who can continue their great work and uphold the high standard they’ve set.
