Volunteers needed for Ontario Summer Games triathlon events

The Town of St. Marys is seeking volunteers to support the triathlon events for the 2024 Ontario Summer Games.

On August 2 and 3, 2024, 60 young athletes will swim, cycle and run through St. Marys as part of the Games, which are being hosted by the City of London. Volunteers are needed from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on both days.

Volunteer roles include barrier guards, who will help manage the multiple road closures required for the triathlon. Barrier guards will be required to stand for up to 45 minutes and be able to lift 44 pounds. Event location volunteers are also required to assist with set up and tear down and/or complete administrative tasks.

Those interested in volunteering must be at least 14 years old; applicants under the age of 18 will require parental consent. All volunteers also require a successful Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC) from at least August 1, 2023. Residents can obtain a PVSC from the Stratford Police Service online (www.stratford.ca/en/live-here/stratford-police-services.aspx) or by calling 519-271-4141, ext. 8278.

Volunteer applications can be submitted through the Ontario Summer Games website: www.london2024.ca/en/volunteer. Questions about volunteering for the Games can be directed to Jackie Corby at jcorby@fanshawec.ca.
