Marilyn Chidlow Club Volunteer Awards
The Marilyn Chidlow Club Volunteer Award was named after Marilyn Chidlow. Marilyn is a native of Ponoka who has been involved
in every level of skating volunteerism from the local club level through the National Board level as the Skate Canada President from
2000 to 2006. The Section has been the beneficiary of Marilyn’s talent and commitment for several decades and it is the Section’s
great honor to have named this award after such a fine individual.
Each year, one volunteer per club may be nominated to receive the Marilyn Chidlow Club Volunteer Award by receiving a certificate
and pin from the Section office to present the deserving volunteer.
