CN TOWER CLIMB FOR NATURE – EVENT DAY VOLUNTEERS We look forward to having you join us this year as a volunteer at WWF-Canada’s CN Tower Climb for Nature on Saturday April 15 and Sunday April 16. This will be an incredible volunteering experience, full of high energy participants eager to climb the tower, and friendly faces all around! The success of this event is in large part to the 400+ volunteers who will assisting in all areas! Please note the last day to sign-up to volunteer is Wednesday April 5, 2023 at 10 am EST. This deadline may move up if all volunteer positions are filled earlier, therefore we encourage you to sign-up early! Volunteer Key Details Minimum Age • To volunteer at this event without adult supervision, you must be at least 16 years of age. • Volunteers under the age of 18 must have permission from their parent(s) or legal guardian(s). • Those under 16 who would like to participate are asked to submit a formal request to volunteers@wwfcanada.org. For this application to be considered, your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) MUST attend the event and volunteer alongside you for your entire shift. Note volunteers under the age of 16 can only volunteer at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (and not directly at the CN Tower location). Time • Most volunteer shifts begin at approximately 5:00AM and it is extremely important that volunteers arrive on time. If you do not feel that you can truly commit to arriving by 5:00 AM, please do not sign up for these positions. We ask all volunteers to remain in their positions for the full timeframes unless otherwise directed by a team captain and/or an event organizer. Refreshments • We encourage you to eat breakfast prior, and bring additional food/snacks for yourself that you can eat during your shift. Refreshments and some light snacks will be available throughout your shift. • Water will also be available throughout the day for all volunteers, and we encourage you to drink lots and to bring your reusable water bottles. Transportation • Please consider your transportation options to the site before you sign up for a position. On weekends, the TTC subway system is not in service until 6:00 AM on Saturdays and 8:00 AM on Sundays. This can make getting downtown more difficult. However, there are TTC and GO buses that are in service overnight and stop very close to the site. We encourage you to look up transportation options on the TTC website or GO transit website to determine your best route. Security Check • Please note that a few specific volunteer positions within the CN Tower require official security checks (vulnerable sector police check). You will be contacted by the middle of March if your role requires this (will be indicated in the volunteer position description below) Community Service Hours • Volunteers who are interested in receiving documentation for their Community Service Hours are asked to request a reference letter by emailing volunteers@wwfcanada.org directly. • Reference letters will be emailed after the event. |
