Excitement is building for the next Newfoundland and Labrador Summer Games, taking place in Corner Brook this summer. About 1600 athletes and coaches will be here from August 8th-15th. Cara Pye is the secretary for the Host Committee and joined Bayfm’s Lenny Benoit to talk about a volunteer recruitment drive at the end of this month. She says the games will be a big event with ten sports and athletes coming from nine regions in NL.
Meanwhile, Volunteer Week is a time to celebrate those people who do so much for our communities and it takes place April 19th-25th. Pye says they’re looking for about 500 volunteers to make the games memorable and have set a day for a recruitment drive. April 30th marks 100 days until the games begin. Pye says an event of this magnitude needs volunteers. For more information go to nlgames.ca
