September Games

Volunteers

Volunteers are a major part of Calgary Corporate Challenge, and are essential to making this event a success. In addition, volunteerism is a great way to get more of your employees, your family, and friends involved in the spirit of CCC.

The number of volunteers that your company will provide is based on your division placement:

Blue Division: 4 volunteers

Green Division: 5 volunteers

White Division: 10 volunteers

Red Division: 12 volunteers

Orange Division: 15 volunteers

Mini Challenge: 5 volunteers

Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age, but do not need to be employed by your company.

By submitting payment for your CCC Registration Fee, you are accepting the obligation of providing the above number of volunteers specific to your division placement.

Company volunteers will help out in areas that involve interaction with participants, other volunteers, and sponsors (ie. registration, concessions, race number hand-out). Company volunteers will not be expected to fill highly skilled or technical roles (ie. refereeing or operating sound equipment). Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age, but do not need to be employed by your company. We recommend against anyone both participating and volunteering for the same event due to possible scheduling conflicts (ie. you may be scheduled to participate in an event at the same time as your volunteer commitment).

Company volunteers will be required to sign a Volunteer Waiver Form on-site when they arrive at their event.

 

VOLUNTEER ASSIGNMENT

Company volunteers will be assigned, as a group, to one or more events. Specific volunteer assignments (ie. event dates, times, and roles) will be provided to your company Volunteer Coordinator during the second week of August.

Requests to change your assigned volunteer event, date(s), and/or time(s) WILL NOT be considered.

Companies that do not fulfill their volunteer requirements will have -20 points deducted from their overall participation points total, and may forfeit their spot in the 2010 Calgary Corporate Challenge. This will be up to the discretion of the Games Office.

 

VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR

The Volunteer Coordinator (or in some cases, the Company Coordinator), is responsible for ensuring that its company meets its volunteer commitments by:

1) recruiting the required number of volunteers; and

2) ensuring that volunteers turn up at their assigned event
