■ CANADA WINTER GAMES
Getting volunteers in place is a big job ALISTAIR MCINNIS sports@pgfreepress.com
The 2015 Canada Winter Games will be the largest volunteer effort in Prince George history. With as many as 4,500 people expected to donate their time to support the effort, no previous community event comes close to matching the manpower required to stage the Games. Such a large-scale event also demands volunteers through the planning stages. Although the Games are two years away, the process of organizing the workforce is well underway. Prince George residents have been preparing for the largest cultural and sporting event in its history since a successful bid in 2010. But since hiring a manager to lead the volunteer team, Games staff have been increasing efforts to attract volunteers. Christine Nicholls carries the title of Manager, Volunteer Workforce for the 2015 Canada Winter Games. She’s been filling the role for four months, having moved north from the Lower Mainland in September.
“You’ve got a great volunteer base here,” she says. “But by the end of this, you’re going to have a much bigger volunteer base that has a greater capacity to do any event because you’ll never have an event this size come back. Whatever you guys end up bidding on to bring to Prince George will be a piece of cake compared to this. “The confidence level, the experience, all of that is going to really change how the North is and what they’re going to end up being able to put on.” The volunteer effort includes three phases of engagement. It begins with planning volunteers, who the Games staff are in the process of bringing in. These individuals will lead their respective departments leading into and through the Games. Six of these job postings are currently listed on the Games’ website: accommodation chair, environmental services chair, food services chair, materials management chair, security chair, and village services chair. After the first wave of volunteers are hired, the Games team
will secure a team for the PreGames phase. Beginning in February 2014, these volunteers will perform preparation duties for the year leading into the Games. Nicholls encourages people who expect to be tied up during the Games to work during the second phase. Working preGames may also provide more flexibility. Games staff plan to give volunteers four-, six- and eight-hour shifts. However, areas during the Games may require volunteers to put in 10-hour shifts. “There are a lot of City people that need to be working during the Games window,” she says. “This is a way for them to be a volunteer for the Canada Winter Games. They can complete their 36 hours, they get their full volunteer package and then they have their accreditation and they have access to all of the events that are available to volunteers during the Games window, but they’re still going to be available to work.” The pre-Games phase will include accreditation assembly. Nicholls notes that as many as
5,000 pieces will need to be provided. They plan to start running their accreditation office three months before the Games begin. The bulk of the volunteers will work during the Games. The multi-sports event is scheduled for Feb. 13 to March 1, 2015. Nicholls says thousands of individuals on the Games Time team will work from Feb. 9 to March 6, 2015. A variety of positions will be filled. The volunteer workforce even includes family team members who will be asked to carry flags and cheer on other provinces to help visitors feel more at home. The volunteer team will include up to 1,000 officials. They’ll work under 500 paid officials brought in from throughout the province and elsewhere in Canada. On top of the many volunteers, there will be about 50 full-time paid staff working at the Games. Ten of those positions, including the one held by Nicholls, have been filled already. Prince George will play host to 2,350 athletes from 10 provinces and three territories dur-
ing the Games. Nicholls expects about 5,000 friends and family will visit the city. The Games team expects 100 members of the national media and more than 1,000 sponsor representatives and VIPs stepping foot in the city. “We’re expecting about 15,000 extra people in Prince George over the 18-day period, so whichever way you look at it, lots of people, lots of activity, lots of excitement.” Volunteers are required to fill out application forms, pass criminal records checks and participate in orientation sessions. They can participate in either the Opening or Closing Ceremonies. They’ll receive handbooks, uniforms, free meals and snacks, access to the venues, access to the transit system and Games village activities. Gifts and certificates of appreciation will be presented to volunteers. They will also receive invites to a thank-you event. For more information or to sign up to volunteer, visit the Games website at www.canadagames2015.ca.

Mayor Shari Green said while the challenge was to be tops in Canada, people had to remember the reason for the Relay. “It’s an important thing for everyone in the community, but it can be a fun event as well.� Last year, the Prince George Relay for Life raised more than $490,000 with more than 1,600 participants. Coquitlam raised about $550,000, with fewer participants. Patenaude said the challenge was not just to Coquitlam, but to Prince George as well.

Purdon enjoys this Privilege TERESA MALLAM arts@pgfreepress.com
Ted, a slick Manhattan stockbrocker, is (thankfully) nothing like Jonathan Purdon, the Toronto actor who portrays him in Theatre North West’s production of Privilege. However, you can tell that Purdon is enjoying his new role, slipping into his new character’s snakeskin. “Ted’s smart, he’s slick. He’s the kind of person that achieves things using his charm and charismatic personality – he gets high on it,” says Purdon who spoke with the Free Press between rehearsals. Like many actors, Purdon was bitten by the acting bug in high school. His drama instructors apparently saw in him a “natural talent” – one that has never let him down in finding work in his competitive world. His debut role was ambitious and very unforgettable, he admits. “We did a group piece that was adapted from To the Light House [1927 play by Virginia Woolf] set to music by [American composer] Philip Glass and we took it to New York.” TNW audiences may remember Purdon in his role as Leonard in Corker. Purdon loves his craft and working in theatre. He also writes. However, his versatility as an actor gives him opportunities in television and film as well. Recently, he appeared in Murdoch Mysteries, Mayday

Jonathan Purdon as Ted chats with on-stage son, Charlie, played by Benjamin Hirtz, in a scene from TNW’s Privilege, which runs Feb. 7 to 27. and Flashpoint. And he plays the lead role in a new, short film, Paranormal Radio (in the soon-to-be-released remake of Robocop). Blessed with a quick wit, sense of humour, engaging smile and measure of charm (he does have some positive traits of his character Ted), it’s not surprising Purdon enjoys being in a comedy like Privilege with great one-liners. However he’s taken on other roles including Flavius in Julius Caesar and Clifford Bradshaw in Cabaret (Sudbury Theatre Centre). Purdon says he’s happy to be staying in Prince George for the run of the play (though he hates leaving his girlfriend behind in T.O.) because there’s lots of snow which
gives him a chance to get in some favourite winter sports. “I love cross-country skiing and I love winter,” he says. “Really, one of the reasons I love doing theatre is because I get to experience what it’s like living in places like Prince George and other parts
of the country.” It may be cold in the north but Purdon finds the audiences here very warm. “When I was here last time in 2003 to play in [TNW’s] Corker, I remember the audiences were very warm and receptive.” Theatre North West’s
production of Privilege by playwright Paul Weitz runs from Feb. 7 to 27 at TNW at Parkhill Centre. Evening performances start at 8 p.m. Sunday matinees 2 p.m. Feb. 17 and 24. Tickets are available at Books and Company or by phone order at 250-614-0039.

Marianas Trench keeps climbing charts Vancouver rockers played Grey Cup, now on cross-country tour After the wildly successful Face the Music tour that Marianas Trench brought across Canada last fall, the Vancouver pop rockers are calling all Trenchers to join them for Marianas Trench Face the Music: With a Vengeance Tour with special guests Down With Webster and Anami Vice. Sunday, April 14 at the CN Centre. Ever After, their latest album, has gone platinum in Canada with over 100,000 units sold. It has spawned the hit singles Fallout, Desperate Measures, Haven’t Had Enough and Stutter. Ever After is built around a story written by Marianas Trench singer and songwriter Josh Ramsay and then finessed into an accompanying booklet. After the breakthrough of their 2009 album Masterpiece Theatre and months on the road, Ramsay and band mates Ian Casselman, Mike Ayley and Matt Webb went into the studio and created a seamless hour-long symphony. Now Canada’s latest arena headliners are taking their theatrical genius back onto the road for a series of concerts that their growing legion of fans will remember forever – the Face The music tour featured a dizzying array of special effects, aerial acrobatics and spectacular visual elements alongside the band’s
