It was amazing weekend to volunteer for the Ontario Summer Games at York University (Tait Mackenzie Centre) where the Men's and Women's basketball tournament were being held. On Friday I had an adventure getting to the facility lots of construction everywhere. York University is a huge facility plus another surprise (revealed at the end).
I was going to assisted in food service area. They had POD's (refridgerated truck to keep the all the food chilled for the volunteers and athletes). Lunch was served between 11:30 -1:30 and there were strict protocols in place to make sure the food was handled and processed effectively.
We had a hungry crowd who appreciated our assistance and numerous "thank you" we received is a we need to hear as appreciation.
2nd day at the venue I assisted in Food Service and answering attendee questions and concerens.
On Sunday I had the great experience on volunteering at the Volleyball tournament at Ashbrigdge's Bay in the morning. Had an amazing bike experience to the location and watched some amazing volleyball games. I assisted in loading the POD when the food arrived and help the volunteers set up signs and tables.
Big surprise revealed! The reason for the adventure I had at York University is that its the main location for the upcoming Pan-American Games and Parapan American Games happening in 2012
They are building a 10.000 seat stadium for the event and 2 new subway stations. Hence for all the construction!
