Officiate
Officials ensure fair and high-quality competitions. They run the competition according to the rules to produce accurate results.
Canada has a highly comprehensive officials programs. Every year Canadian officials travel to competitions all over the world to proudly volunteer. Becoming an official starts at the local club level. Many begin by casually volunteering to with a competition and learn from other officials.
