Canadian Cancer Society Volunteer Recruitment Posting

The good people at the Canadian Cancer Society have asked me to post this one so here goes.... Role: Marketing Communications/Media Relations Support.

The Canadian Cancer Society British is currently recruiting marketing communications / media relations volunteers to help support the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast. The Canadian Cancer Society's Cops for Cancer is a partnership between the Canadian Cancer Society and police officers, RCMP and local military police from across British Columbia. Each Fall, Canadian law enforcement personnel cycle a pre-designated route in their region, raising funds and awareness for paediatric cancer research and programs that support kids with cancer, such as Camp Goodtimes. In order to help make this event possible, the Canadian Cancer Society is looking for the help of a team of highly skilled leadership volunteers.

Currently, we are recruiting to fill the following role: Marketing Communications / Media Relations support team members for the Marketing Street Team. Street Team members will be responsible for:

  • Fundraising event promotion and marketing;
  • Draft and issue press releases;
  • Work with Officers to promote and manage events;
  • Develop marketing tools.

The time commitment is dependent on specific fundraising events. If you are interested in participating or learning more about the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast, please see the Canadian Cancer Society’s website (www.bc.cancer.ca) or contact Kevin McKim (mckim@telus.net).

Rock Climbing, April 10th, 2005


Let it all hang out with Urban Mixer! Sunday April 10th, we’ll be hosting a Rock Climbing Session at Cliffhanger - 106 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver.

Come on, you just know that’s your best angle! Put your own butt in a sling and show it off to a group of Vancouver’s finest Urban Mixers, then rappel back down and watch while they try. Reach for the heights at Cliffhanger, the hottest rock wall this side of real lava. Safely scale an indoor climbing gym wall while meeting great new people. No experience necessary and all levels invited!

Indoor/outdoor is the Wet Coast version of AC/DC. Whether you grew up scrambling the Smoke Bluffs or your last bouldering experience was when you drove the Land Rover over the concrete barrier in the parking garage, you’ll sweat it out with Vancouver’s liveliest socializers. Don’t just sit there…do something!

The climbing session includes: all of your equipment, a 4:1 ratio of student to climbing instructor and 2 hours of climbing time with other great Urban Mixer members!

After the event, we'll hit the pub so hard it won’t even be able to give the cops a description!

When: January 30th, 3:30PM - 6PM.
Dress: Workout wear is fine, dress to climb. For the sake of the spectators, think about the view before donning your surf baggies.
Location: Cliffhanger Rock Climbing Gym, 106 West 1st Ave., Vancouver.
Cost: Sliding scale, $40 per person before April 1st, $50 thereafter.

RSVP and payment required prior to April 5th, 2005 to save your spot. Be a Cliffhanger and join one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. Hey, who doesn’t look hot in ropes!

Get the full 411 at http://www.urbanmixer.com/eventlistings.asp.

Register in advance and get the Early Bird Price!

$40 before April 1st, $50 thereafter.

Admission cost covers the event, equipment rental and the attention of instructors who'll make sure you'll climb safe and don't pull a Humpty Dumpty.
