Volunteers Needed | U16 (Jan 15-16) and U14 (Jan 22-23) Coast Zone Teck Races

Thank you to those of you that have already volunteered for the upcoming U14 and U16 races. If you have not heard back from us regarding your roles – you will shortly!

But we still have many positions to fill to make both these races a success. Please email volunteers@wmsc.info to secure your position. And remember, you don’t need an athlete in these races to volunteer. As we look to host our first races in a long time, we need the support of the entire club to make these races a success. If you do have an athlete in the race, we do need you to volunteer for both days of the race if you can.

We need all of you to make these races happen.

​

Please expect a WMSC Volunteer survey coming up this weekend!
