Volunteer Information
JOIN THIS INSPIRING TEAM
As the Comox Valley will play host to some of the most elite winter athletes in the world, it will take an extraordinary team to coordinate the IPC Nordic Skiing World Cup Finals. Over 125 athletes from 24 countries will be visiting the Comox Valley to compete and train on our local mountain!
In order to accommodate the athletes, as well as IPC competition standards, it requires over 350 dynamic and dedicated volunteers. As a volunteer you will receive complimentary breakfast and/or lunch during your shifts and will be invited to take part in a variety of community and athlete socials held throughout the week. You will witness the very best in athletic competition and even receive a memento in recognition of help!
