The City of Port Moody is searching for residents aged 21 and older to volunteer as Port Moody Parking Ambassadors during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. If you are selected, you could win a chance to purchase Olympic event tickets.
The City of Port Moody is a Community Contributor partner with the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. In that role, the city will provide additional parking for the West Coast Express from February 12 to 28, 2010. In order to facilitate a memorable experience for visitors, they are seeking volunteer parking ambassadors that will meet, greet, answer questions and provide a welcoming atmosphere.
As a Community Contributor partner, the City has access to some 2010 Olympic Winter Games event tickets at face value. These tickets will be made available for purchase by our volunteer parking ambassadors. A limited number of tickets are available, so volunteer names will be entered into a draw, and randomly selected individuals will receive the opportunity to purchase 1 pair of tickets to pre-selected Olympic events. While participation in the ticket purchase opportunity is optional, this is a great chance to represent your community and take part in the Olympic experience at the same time.
The tickets are non-transferrable and, once purchased, must be accepted as awarded and are subject to the ticket rules, regulations and conditions of the ticket issuer. Staff of the City of Port Moody and relatives of staff are ineligible for this ticket draw. You can join the volunteer parking ambassador team by submitting your completed application by 12 noon on December 18, 2009. In order to apply, download an application and submit it to:

Can Can Can you do the Can Can? The Golden Spike Days Festival, the premiere event of the summer in Port Moody, is looking for volunteers to help put on the event.
The 33rd Annual edition of the festival runs from July 3rd to 5th at Rocky Point Park. We’ll be enjoying entertainment, rides, displays, great food, and the ever-awesome Can Can Dancers. It’s certainly something my family has not missed in the time we’ve been living here.
Mandy Ellis, assistant coordinator of the Festival, got in touch with me this week as they’re putting out a call for volunteers to come help out with the event. Golden Spike Days would not be possible without volunteer help from the community. They are looking for help in such areas as traffic control, children’s rides, site management, selling tickets in the beer garden, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Volunteers get fed, watered, and get free admission to the Festival.
