■ CANADA WINTER GAMES
Getting volunteers in place is a big jobThe 2015 Canada Winter Games
will be the largest volunteer effort in Prince George history.
With as many as 4,500 people expected to donate their time to support the effort, no pre-vious community event comes close to matching the manpower required to stage the Games. Such a large-scale event also demands volunteers through the planning stages. Although the Games are two years away, the process of organizing the workforce is well underway.
Prince George residents have been preparing for the largest cultural and sporting event in its history since a successful bid in 2010. But since hiring a man-ager to lead the volunteer team, Games staff have been increasing efforts to attract volunteers.
Christine Nicholls carries the title of Manager, Volunteer Work-force for the 2015 Canada Winter Games. She’s been filling the role for four months, having moved north from the Lower Mainland in September.
“You’ve got a great volunteer base here,” she says. “But by the end of this, you’re going to have a much bigger volunteer base that has a greater capacity to do any event because you’ll never have an event this size come back. Whatever you guys end up bidding on to bring to Prince George will be a piece of cake compared to this.
“The confidence level, the experience, all of that is going to really change how the North is and what they’re going to end up being able to put on.”
The volunteer effort includes three phases of engagement. It begins with planning volunteers, who the Games staff are in the process of bringing in. These indi-viduals will lead their respective departments leading into and through the Games. Six of these job postings are currently listed on the Games’ website: accom-modation chair, environmental services chair, food services chair, materials management chair, security chair, and village ser-vices chair.
After the first wave of volun-teers are hired, the Games team
will secure a team for the Pre-Games phase. Beginning in Feb-ruary 2014, these volunteers will perform preparation duties for the year leading into the Games.
Nicholls encourages people who expect to be tied up dur-ing the Games to work during the second phase. Working pre-Games may also provide more flexibility. Games staff plan to give volunteers four-, six- and eight-hour shifts. However, areas during the Games may require volunteers to put in 10-hour shifts.
“There are a lot of City people that need to be working during the Games window,” she says. “This is a way for them to be a volunteer for the Canada Win-ter Games. They can complete their 36 hours, they get their full volunteer package and then they have their accreditation and they have access to all of the events that are available to volunteers during the Games window, but they’re still going to be available to work.”
The pre-Games phase will include accreditation assembly. Nicholls notes that as many as
5,000 pieces will need to be pro-vided. They plan to start running their accreditation office three months before the Games begin.
The bulk of the volunteers will work during the Games. The multi-sports event is scheduled for Feb. 13 to March 1, 2015. Nicholls says thousands of indi-viduals on the Games Time team will work from Feb. 9 to March 6, 2015.
A variety of positions will be filled. The volunteer workforce even includes family team mem-bers who will be asked to carry flags and cheer on other prov-inces to help visitors feel more at home.
The volunteer team will include up to 1,000 officials. They’ll work under 500 paid officials brought in from throughout the province and elsewhere in Canada.
On top of the many volunteers, there will be about 50 full-time paid staff working at the Games. Ten of those positions, including the one held by Nicholls, have been filled already.
Prince George will play host to 2,350 athletes from 10 prov-inces and three territories dur-
ing the Games. Nicholls expects about 5,000 friends and family will visit the city. The Games team expects 100 members of the national media and more than 1,000 sponsor representatives and VIPs stepping foot in the city.
“We’re expecting about 15,000 extra people in Prince George over the 18-day period, so which-ever way you look at it, lots of people, lots of activity, lots of excitement.”
Volunteers are required to fill out application forms, pass criminal records checks and par-ticipate in orientation sessions. They can participate in either the Opening or Closing Ceremonies. They’ll receive handbooks, uni-forms, free meals and snacks, access to the venues, access to the transit system and Games village activities.
Gifts and certificates of appre-ciation will be presented to vol-unteers. They will also receive invites to a thank-you event.

thinks it’s time for Prince George to be tops in Canada in a positive category.
Mind you, the committee chair of the Prince George Relay for Life is quite happy with the local event being second best – for now.
“We should be singing in the streets about being Number 2,” he said at a press conference Jan. 23 at the Canadian Cancer Society office. “There are over 500 relays across the coun-try, and we raised the second-highest total.”
But he, and the rest of the committee for the May 11 and 12 Relay for Life, have set a loftier goal.
“We’ve had a friendly challenge in the past with other
places,” said team lead Helen Owen. “It’s always been an unofficial thing.
“Until this year.”So is it the
“friendly” or the “unofficial” that is changing? Owen laughs.
“It will always be friendly,” she emphasizes. “It’s just now it is a bit more competitive.”
The challenge is aimed specifically at Coquitlam, which raised the most money in Canada at its 2012 Relay for Life.
“I was somewhat surprised to find the Top 2 fundraisers in the B.C./Yukon region were also the
Top 2 in Canada,” said Owen.
Mayor Shari Green said while the chal-lenge was to be tops in Canada, people had to remember the reason for the Relay.
“It’s an important thing for everyone in the community, but it can be a fun event as well.”
Last year, the Prince George Relay for Life raised more than $490,000 with more than 1,600 par-ticipants. Coquit-lam raised about $550,000, with fewer participants. Pat-enaude said the challenge was not just to Coquitlam, but to Prince George as well.
“I believe in every person, in every business in Prince George. We have to show we are the fundraising capital of Canada.”
So far, team entries have been slow, he said, but that is start-ing to change.
“I started phoning people (Tuesday) night, and almost everyone said, ‘Is that only a few months away? I’ll get our team together’.”
Any team registeed with 10 or more par-ticipants before Jan. 31 will be entered into a draw to enjoy a luxury tent during the relay.
“It can get a lit-tle chilly in May in Prince George,” Pat-enaude hinted, “and the tent comes with heat, some sofas, everything you need.”
Canadian Can-cer Society regional director Marga-ret Jones-Bricker emphasized the importance of the Relay for Life.
“It is important as our signature event across Canada. It provides much of the funding for the programs we pro-vide.”

and Flashpoint. And he plays the lead role in a new, short film, Paranormal Radio (in the soon-to-be-released remake of Robocop).
Blessed with a quick wit, sense of humour, engaging smile and measure of charm (he does have some posi-tive traits of his char-acter Ted), it’s not sur-prising Purdon enjoys being in a comedy like Privilege with great one-liners.
However he’s taken on other roles includ-ing Flavius in Julius Caesar and Clifford Bradshaw in Cabaret (Sudbury Theatre Cen-tre).
Purdon says he’s happy to be staying in Prince George for the run of the play (though he hates leaving his girlfriend behind in T.O.) because there’s lots of snow which
gives him a chance to get in some favourite winter sports.
“I love cross-country skiing and I love win-ter,” he says. “Really, one of the reasons I love doing theatre is because I get to experi-ence what it’s like liv-ing in places like Prince George and other parts
of the country.”It may be cold in
the north but Purdon finds the audiences here very warm.
“When I was here last time in 2003 to play in [TNW’s] Corker, I remember the audi-ences were very warm and receptive.”
Theatre North West’s
production of Privilege by playwright Paul Weitz runs from Feb. 7 to 27 at TNW at Parkh-ill Centre. Evening performances start at 8 p.m. Sunday matinees 2 p.m. Feb. 17 and 24. Tickets are available at Books and Company or by phone order at 250-614-0039.
Ted, a slick Manhat-tan stockbrocker, is (thankfully) nothing like Jonathan Purdon, the Toronto actor who portrays him in The-atre North West’s pro-duction of Privilege.
However, you can tell that Purdon is enjoying his new role, slipping into his new character’s snakeskin.
“Ted’s smart, he’s slick. He’s the kind of person that achieves things using his charm and charismatic per-sonality – he gets high on it,” says Pur-don who spoke with the Free Press between rehearsals.
Like many actors, Purdon was bitten by the acting bug in high school. His drama instructors apparently saw in him a “natural talent” – one that has never let him down in finding work in his competitive world. His debut role was ambi-tious and very unfor-gettable, he admits.
“We did a group piece that was adapted from To the Light House [1927 play by Virginia Woolf] set to music by [American composer] Philip Glass and we took it to New York.”
TNW audiences may remember Purdon in his role as Leonard in Corker.
Purdon loves his craft and working in theatre. He also writes. However, his versatil-ity as an actor gives him opportunities in television and film as well. Recently, he appeared in Murdoch Mysteries, Mayday

Marianas Trench keeps climbing chartsVancouver rockers played Grey Cup, now on cross-country tour
After the wildly successful Face the Music tour that Mari-anas Trench brought across Can-ada last fall, the Vancouver pop rockers are calling all Trenchers to join them for Marianas Trench Face the Music: With a Ven-geance Tour with special guests Down With Webster and Anami Vice. Sunday, April 14 at the CN Centre.
Ever After, their latest album, has gone platinum in Canada with over 100,000 units sold. It has spawned the hit singles Fallout, Desperate Measures, Haven’t Had Enough and Stut-ter.
Ever After is built around a story written by Marianas Trench singer and songwriter Josh Ram-say and then finessed into an accompanying booklet. After the breakthrough of their 2009 album Masterpiece Theatre and months on the road, Ramsay and band mates Ian Casselman, Mike Ayley and Matt Webb went into the studio and created a seam-less hour-long symphony.
Now Canada’s latest arena headliners are taking their the-atrical genius back onto the road for a series of concerts that their growing legion of fans will remember forever – the Face The music tour featured a dizzying array of special effects, aerial acrobatics and spectacular visual elements alongside the band’s
powerhouse music and signa-ture vocal harmonies.
Marianas Trench Face the
Music: With A Vengeance tour plays CN Centre on April 14 along with special guests Down
With Webster and Anami Vice. Doors for the concert open at 6
p.m. Show starts at 7 p.m.
Tickets for the show are on sale now at all Ticketmaster loca-tions.
