Volunteering at Canoe ’09 is a great way to feel the rush of excitement at the largest international sporting event held in Atlantic Canada to date: the 2009 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships.
If you’re 15 years or older you can volunteer to help hold and dry the boats between Aug. 10 and 12 at Boat Control Stations around the venue. This opportunity will take you up close and personal with 1,000 elite athletes coming to the competition from over 75 countries around the world.
Boat Control Station volunteers will help officials ensure fairness and objectivity during the races. It will look great on your resume, and offer you a rare opportunity to watch the fastest paddlers on the planet battle for gold from the best seats in the house.
If you’re not interested in boat control, don’t worry, there are many other exciting positions up for grabs. The four-day competition requires over 800 volunteers from different walks of life, paddlers and non-paddlers, to fill positions requiring a wide array of talents.
