Experience the thrill of staging the Tour de Delta this year through volunteering. Ever wonder how your community has pulled off this big event annually these past 12 years? Its easy… an army of volunteers led by seasoned veterans and fully backed by the Corporation of Delta!
Since July 2000, Olympic level riders have cycled through the streets of Delta, spanning North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen. Cyclists like Eric Wohlberg, Gord Fraser, Svein Tuft, Gina Grain and Susy Pryde. These athletes come back year after year suggesting that Tour de Delta is “one of their favourites… not only for the professionalism of the race itself but, in large part, due to the ‘friendliness factor’ of Delta and the generosity of its volunteers”.
You don’t need previous experience to assist. Simply go to the Volunteers page at www.tourdedelta.com. From there you can fill out the volunteer application form and send it in or email Michelle Hebein, the Volunteer Director. You can also fill out a volunteer form and have it sent via interoffice mail to Michelle Hebein at the North Delta Recreation Centre or Christine Bigelow at Delta Municipal Hall (Parks, Rec and Culture Dept).
A Volunteer Dinner is hosted on Wednesday, July 4th where you will be divided into teams and learn your roles from seasoned volunteer leaders. Can’t commit to the entire weekend? That is okay! There are jobs that run a few hours as well as those that span the entire weekend. If you are aged 16 to 96, there is a role for you. Some get the whole family involved as a way of giving back to the community.
Let 2012 mark the year of the volunteer!
