Tasks include coordinating a variety of athlete services such as registration, transportation, uniform distribution, media relations and mandatory non-sport training. You will work with highly skilled, professional staff support from Sport Manitoba. This is a great opportunity to play a key role in Manitoba’s sport development system.

As well, the ideal candidate will have extensive and varied experience as a volunteer and be prepared to demonstrate strong commitment to the event. Ability to communicate in both official languages is an asset.
