Volunteer Rally Success
The first Tim Hortons Brier volunteer rally took place November
17th and 18th at the Calgary Curling Club. With the help of some
FANTASTIC Special Events volunteers, we managed to get nearly
500 volunteers signed up and sized. Thank you to all the helpers,
and every volunteer who attended.
We have room for a few more volunteers, and we need to get the
spots filled ASAP. If you know anyone who might still be interested
in volunteering, please ask them to phone Alyssa at 403-775-7566
