Bachelor of Hospitality and Tourism Management students taking the Meetings, Conventions and Event Management course this semester are volunteering with the 2024 World Women鈥檚 Curling Championship from March 16-24 at Centre 200. As part of their experiential learning, students are volunteering in a variety of roles including ambassadors, bartenders and bussers.

鈥淲e are excited to have our Hospitality and Tourism Management students representing the 小猪视频community by volunteering at the upcoming 2024 Women鈥檚 World Championship in Sydney,鈥 says Jennifer Currie, Instructor of Hospitality and Tourism Management. 鈥淭his opportunity provides our students with additional hands-on experience in organizing large-scale, high-quality events, along with the chance to enjoy a fast-paced, major tourism event.鈥

Earlier this year, Curling Canada Event Manager, Maddie Kelly, worked with Jennifer to facilitate a member of the Curling Canada event team joining the 小猪视频class virtually to speak to students about the opportunity and what it means to take part. From that moment on, the students were buzzing with excitement for the upcoming event.

小猪视频student Xingyu Zhang, known by most as Chloe, says she is incredibly excited to have the opportunity to volunteer at this event. Chloe has always found ice sports to have a unique charm when compared to other sports and says she looks forward to being given the opportunity to make the experience the best it can be for everyone involved, spectators and athletes alike.

鈥淭hrough this volunteer opportunity, we will be able to get a closer look at the excitement of curling, the high-level athletes who play it and their sportsmanship during the tournament,鈥 says Chloe. 鈥淲e hope to provide the best possible assistance we can during the event so that spectators from different countries will have a very comfortable and memorable experience, with them walking away enthusiastic about Cape Breton Island and Sydney.鈥
