I can't speak on behalf of the other sports, but figure skating is one of the greatest sports for volunteerism. We have a tremendous number. You can go to any event, like the World Figure Skating Championships in London , and we have hundreds of volunteers. I think that just goes to show the strength of what figure skating is. We want people to want to be involved. Just for the so-called picking—the tryouts of flower retrievers and ice patchers and everything for the 100th anniversary—we had over 100 kids show up for about 30 places. That just goes to show that the kids want to be involved, and the parents do too. I'm proud to say that when I went to a competition when I was competing, I could always rely on a great volunteer. Skate Canada has been very strong for that—it's been great.
