The 55+ BC Games Committee is looking to get locals from the Okanagan involved in the upcoming sporting event.
Thousands of athletes come to 麻豆精选 in September to compete in over 30 sports, and volunteers are needed to help make sure the games are a success.
鈥淚 believe in community spirit. I believe in volunteering,鈥� said operations supervisor and avid 麻豆精选 volunteer Wendy Falkowski.
鈥淓vents thrive when passionate people show up to support them. Volunteers not only ensure the success of an event, but they also drive the ability to continue to host and vie for great events, which builds a more vibrant place to be and live. And let鈥檚 face it, volunteering feels good.鈥�
