Alpine Canada Alpin (ACA) has launched a one-stop online shop for volunteer recruitment, beginning its search for the more than 1000 volunteers required to execute the national-level ski races taking place in Canada this season.
The new race event volunteer web page officially launched today allows volunteers to sign up quickly and easily to participate in a variety of volunteer positions.
“Much like we are expanding our marketing efforts in order to find the resources our athletes need to win, we are also expanding in other important areas such as recruiting volunteers. This new system is an important step because it expands our ability to reach out to the very people who make ski racing in Canada possible,” said ACA President Gary Allan.
“We are focused on holding the best ski races, ensuring that our athletes develop the skills to become champions, and I would encourage more people to volunteer at these exciting events this coming season,” Allan said.
The 2008-09 alpine ski racing season in Canada is highlighted by five World Cup ski races taking place in Lake Louise in November and December as well as four IPC Para-Alpine World Cup races in Whistler next March.
Volunteers are also currently being sought for the Northwest Funds Coupe Nor-Am Cup, Pontiac GMC Canadian Championships, Coupe Pontiac GMC Cup, Pontiac GMC Canadian J1 Championships and the President’s Choice Canadian K2 Championships.
