You must be 19 years old as of March 17th next year when the event begins.

Curling Canada says every effort will be made to assign volunteers to their area of choice.

Volunteers will be required to wear an official event uniform at a cost of $100.

Curling Canada says the benefits include wearing official volunteer clothing, a volunteer pin and access to the gardens when not working.

Curling Canada says there will be a minimum of 30 hours per person for volunteer service.
