Registration is Open!
Posted July 2, 2025
Dear WFRA Members,
We are pleased to announce that the Ramp Registration Platform is open for registration. A $25 Early Bird discount will apply until August 1st so don’t delay!
Ramp Registration Platform
If possible, please use the same username as last year when registering online so that your information from last year automatically populates. Please note that this year, payments will be accepted by credit card, Kidsport or Jumpstart only. Please contact me if this poses a problem for you. Note that pre-paid credit cards are accepted on Ramp.
The Ramp app will be running once the teams are finalized, which will be in late September-early October. Please consult our website schedule until then.
Families with Bingo Credits
Please do not register your child until the registrar sends out an email indicating that we have updated your account with the Bingo credits, which will take place in September. You will receive the Early Bird discount of $25 even though you will be registering in September. The Bingo credit calendar runs from September to August, which is why the credits are applied the following September. For those who wish to learn more about obtaining Bingo credits, please contact our Ways and Means Director.
Kidsport or Jumpstart Applicants
Kidsport and Jumpstart are programs that help ease the financial burden of extra-curricular activities. Please visit our Kidsport or Jumpstart subsidy pages for instructions on how to receive an “Application Number” for Ramp.
Respect in Sport for Parents program
Ringette Ontario requires that one parent of every ringette player under the age of 18 must take the Respect in Sport Parent Program by November 1. This course is mandatory to have the Player’s registration approved. If the parent has taken the course in the past (for any sport), they need only indicate the certificate number during the normal Ramp registration process. For more instructions, please check out Ringette Ontario’s RIS Parent Program Instructions.
The cost is approximately $15, takes about an 1h15 to complete, and can be applied across many sport associations. If you’ve already completed it for another sport, simply input the certificate number on the Ramp platform. Tip: Since it is largely audio with a few images, it is possible to sign in from your cell phone, pop in your headphones and listen to the program (while having to stop once in a while to click on answers). I did it while walking the dog 🙂
Goalie Recruitment Incentive
I have sent last year’s goalies (U12-U19) a Goalie Recruitment Incentive promo code to use during the Ramp registration process. Please check your junkmail or contact me if you have not received it.

Volunteer This Summer!
Posted May 24, 2025
The WFRA has the following events this summer, and we need your help to make them happen. Volunteers carry out 100% of WFRA activities, making them an integral part of its success. We encourage everyone to volunteer, and we truly enjoy seeing family members come out and get involved. There are several ways to get involved that vary in time commitment and qualifications.
Canada Day Kid Zone
We are hoping to have our yearly spot at the Kids Zone on Canada Day. The time is usually 8:30am-1pm with setup and takedown – can do shifts. Great for student volunteer hours!
The Bay Block Party
The Bay Block Party is a FREE entry, all day, all ages event in the heart of downtown North Bay. The event showcases local breweries/wineries/distilleries, Food Fest, Kids Zone, the Artisan’s Way, and musical entertainment. Co-hosted by the Capitol Centre and the North Bay and Area REALTORS® Association.
See the Bay Block Party for more information!
We are looking for volunteers to run a tent similar to our Canada Day tent, the duration for the day is approximately 10 hours, so we are looking for a few people to work in shifts through the day.
Come Try Ringette For Free
We will also be hosting, possibly a few, CTRFF events through the summer and into the fall.
We are always looking for volunteers on and off the ice to help make these events run smoothly.
If you are interested in helping with any of these events, please visit our VOLUNTEER page.
Thank you,
Pam Voght, Director of Volunteers for the WFRA
