The Olympic Games volunteer accreditation process got underway this month. As with everything Olympic, there is a strict process to follow. After our initial volunteering to volunteer we each had to be confirmed by the VANOC team, and then confirm our confirmation. We attended a volunteer orientation a year ago, then continued to confirm our commitments through the VANOC website. A month prior to our first day on the job we then booked a time to complete the accreditation process and pick up our uniforms.
In Whistler the accreditation team has taken over the tennis club, turning the tennis courts into numerous spaces separated by blue curtains, and staffing it with dozens of smiling volunteers wearing Olympic blue uniforms.
Here is the VANOC volunteer team jacket with my accreditation card which indicates all the restricted areas I can access during my work shifts.
Soon a sea of this colour blue will be seen all over Whistler and Vancouver!
