Job specific training

I had my 'job specific (as opposed to venue specific) training on Friday. This gave context to the whole process.
What we do now is to prepare a 'home' for the athletes. VSS is known as the 'heart' of the village. We are even going to have special coats to wear, in addition to our Olympic uniforms.
During the games, we are the only village volunteers with security approval to access the residences. If there is a problem in one of the units, we accompany the carpenter, technology, or other specialist to the unit. We also go through the units with each country's delegates before move in.

During the games 'volly's' will have one meal voucher per shift. We will have access to the same food as the athletes (prepared under the supervision of celebrity chef Michael Smith from Food Network), but have to eat in a different part of the 40,000 sq ft food tent. During the games, there will be up to 1,500 'back of house' staff in the Village, but there are only 300 eating spots. Guess we eat in shifts. They will be preparing up to 10,000 meals a day.
the Whistler Village population will be as much as 5,000 people during the games. Larger than many towns. Not bad for what was the Whistler garbage dump a few years ago.
