Putting the spotlight on Sport Volunteers!

It takes more than athletes and a world class venue to host a successful sporting event in Canada’s Tournament Capital. It also requires a dedicated crew of sport volunteers. Volunteers are the “can do-ers” who make things happen, ambassadors for our city, and an invaluable legacy of every event.

The contribution of sport volunteers is vital to the continued success of the sporting events in the Tournament Capital.

So to recognize and celebrate sport volunteers, the Kamloops Sport Council has created the Tournament Capital Volunteer program. The goal of the program is to create a community of sport volunteers filled with pride, achievement, and spirit. Through a program of recognition and reward, the Tournament Capital Volunteer program will help to maintain a strong and committed crew of volunteers.

“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.”
