To make this the best Games yet, we are building an amazing team of local volunteers. If you love sports, enjoy helping others, and want to show off our community pride, we would love to have you on board. It takes hundreds of friendly faces to bring an event like this to life, from food services to spectator assistance.

Bring your friends, your family, or your neighbours and let’s make these games unforgettable together.
