The Gastown Grand Prix criterium is going to be on July 9th this summer. Over 200 athletes will be racing on the cobblestones of Gastown as they try and break away from each other to win the biggest prize. As this is a free public event, it requires a small army of volunteers to survive.
Former inlingua Vancouver students volunteered for this event in the past years. If you are interested, apply online www.globalrelayggp.org/get-involved/volunteer or contact your counselor for assistance.
Every volunteer will get a t-shirt, an invitation to the volunteers dinner where they will be giving out a bunch of prizes and a certificate of achievement documenting their experience. The volunteer shifts are 4 hours. There are different volunteer options to choose from, that will require interacting with other English speakers.
