BOARD & COMMITTEES // 23
An event of this magnitude will require over 50 committee chairs and close to 1,500 volunteers
for the festival week. A volunteer orientation will take place two weeks before the event to ensure
the volunteers have a complete up to date event overview and understanding of their role. This
provides a strong social opportunity, making volunteers feel a part of something special. Volunteers
are recruited and managed through a professional online volunteer program, Volgistics.
The benefit of working with the same team for many years cannot be stressed enough. After each
race, the volunteer team brings new ideas to the table for improvements in efficiency and safety.
The building of trust and friendship amongst team members makes the running of the event seem
effortless. There is joy, happiness and fun in the creating and executing of a solid plan with people
you know and trust. This is one of the greatest benefits to choosing Edmonton for the Grand Final
in 2019. You will never find a group of people who genuinely love and respect each other as much
as the Edmonton triathlon community.
