With the 2024 Manitoba Summer Games now just over two months away, an urgent call is being put out to fill the remaining volunteer spots for the event.
Games co-chair Carla Wolfenden says these spots need to be filled now.
"Laura (Beyette) needs to order T-shirts for volunteers, and that latest deadline has already passed, and we are still short, so she needs accurate numbers. For certain positions, there are also required criminal record and child abuse registry checks that need to be done. And we have been told that the deadline in order to have those completed in time for the games in August is June 15th."
Although they are hopeful that volunteers will sign up to take on multiple shifts, Wolfenden says they will take any help they can get for the August 11th to 17th event.
"If you can only do half of the week because you have commitments the second weekend, then you can just do the first phase. Or you could do just the second phase. We will take anything that people are able to give us because we need volunteers to make this event a success. We know it will be, just the more hands we can get, the better it will be."
You can sign up to be a volunteer by going to the Games office at City Hall, or online through the Sport Manitoba website.
