This position is great for people of ages — CanWest is seeking individuals that love dealing with people! Those in this group will handle responsibilities in areas such as: athlete and volunteer check-in, corralling athletes, ushers, greeters, score runners, nameplate crew, front gate, volunteer tent, etc… These individuals are vital to the CanWest experience and should pride themselves on effective communication.
Our sport requires a 1:1 judge to athlete ratio on the competition field. The competition legitimately cannot happen without YOU. If you are you an athlete, or fitness lover who would like to be right in the action, please consider a role as a volunteer judge. You will be asked to judge an athlete based on their ability to adhere to the standards we set, as well as count their repetitions. Judging will be your primary responsibility, but you may also be asked to fulfill other duties. There will be judge training sessions prior to competition day.
We have a story to tell and we want YOU to capture it. Work as a part of the media team in one of the following areas: video, photo, social media or broadcast team. Previous experience in a media related field is required. The media team volunteers can expect to be on their feet for most of the day, capturing every moment that brings our story to life. Stories of first-time competitors, overcoming adversity and big PR moments!
These incredible humans are nothing short of amazing. Ready at any moment to jump in if needed. These volunteers need to be certified in CPR and/or First Aid and will provide emergency medical support should it be needed. Fire Fighters, EMTs, Nurses, physician assistants, physicians, physical and occupational therapists will fill these posts.
The production of this event requires the moving of large loads, long distance, quickly. Those in this group can expect physical elements such as heavy lifting, repetitive bending, reaching, and light running. This is a very crucial role with responsibilities that are essential to the job in effort to make sure our event runs smooth and on time. You may be asked to fulfill other similar duties outside of this scope. It’s the WOD of a lifetime!
