PURPOSE OF THE VOLUNTEER POSITION
The Derby has become an integral part of our community, helping over 76 community projects over the years. Since its inception, the Derby Committee has invested $181,700 into our community through grants, bursaries, and CVO Hours.
The Board of Directors needs a few more people to join the team to help with the yearly planning of the event, or we risk losing the event and all the funding it provides to non-profit groups, programming, and graduating students.
With your generous contribution of a few hours a month, you can help ensure that LDB ICE lives on in our community for years to come!

- Participating at the event by filling roles and responsibilities assigned to board members
- Overseeing the operations of the yearly Lac du Bonnet Ice Fishing Derby Event

- Managing and overseeing the duties of the General Manager
LDB ICE employs a General Manager to manage the tasks and duties as assigned by the Board of Directors.
