Sustainability Team: Manitoba Marathon

At the Manitoba Marathon we are passionate and dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint, not just on race weekend, but year round. We sort all waste by hand on race weekend and ensure we achieve out goal of 85% waste diversion.

We have had the same sustainability team lead for a number of years, however after this year he will no longer be able to take on this role:

What we need:
-For 2024 a person who will work and shadow under our current team leader, this person will be the one to take over the role from 2025 onwards
-The team lead will recruit volunteers for race weekend, information distribution and shift management.
-We estimate the total time required for this role would be 20 ish hours, a majority of it being race week (Saturday June 15-5 hours, Sunday June 16-8 hours, Monday June 17-8 hours) and then scattered hours recruiting people leading up to the event
-This would be a paid position

If you have someone in mind for this role, or volunteering on our green team, please reach out to Manager@manitobamarathon.mb.ca.

Water Sampling Volunteer: Lake Winnipeg Foundation: Lake Winnipeg Foundation

Volunteer opportunity in Southern Manitoba!

We are looking for volunteers from the Brandon, Westman, Eastman, Interlake, and Central Region to help us conduct water sampling throughout the 2024 season.

The Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network samples for phosphorus, the nutrient responsible for the algae blooms on Lake Winnipeg. We work with local organizations and citizens dispersed across southern Manitoba to identify localized areas that contribute higher amounts of phosphorus to local waterways than other areas, aka “phosphorus hotspots”.

Volunteers sample frequently throughout the spring melt and after large rain events to ensure phosphorus runoff is captured. During the spring melt period (which can be anywhere from 2 weeks to one month depending on the speed of thawing and the amount of snow) the time commitment for volunteers is to sample 2-3 times per week and once the spring melt is over and flows stabilize, sampling goes down to once every 2 weeks unless there is a large rain event in which case we will notify you to sample. Our sites are located across southern Manitoba and volunteers will be matched to sites that are close to them.
