Volunteers needed for Special Olympics Summer Games in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — The Tournament Capital is preparing to host the Special Olympics B.C. Summer Games this July, and it’s going to require a lot of help from a lot of people.
The Kamloops Sports Council is hoping to sign up 1,000 volunteers for the games, which run from July 6-8.
With around 200 volunteers signed up so far, it seems like a lofty goal. However, Sport and Games coordinator Duncan Olthuis says a similar number of volunteers was required for the 2015 Winter Games in Kamloops.
