The people with the red shirts on the ferry provide information to locals and visitors alike. Did you ever wonder who the Travel Ambassadors were?
The Travel Ambassador program operates from Easter to Thanksgiving seven days a week.
These cheerful volunteers are quite often the first person a visitor meets when coming to the Sunshine Coast. They give out information on recreation, arts, culture and local festivals, and provide information to Sunshine Coast residents who are looking for directions to the Vancouver Airport, Granville Island, or the easiest way to get onto Highway 99 to Whistler.
The Travel Ambassadors have openings for new volunteers in 2020, so if you’re proud of the Sunshine Coast, enjoy meeting a wide variety of people from around the world and have a few hours to spare per week, you should consider signing up. Shifts are usually two return trips one day per week with two people sharing a shift.
The Travel Ambassador Program is made possible by the support of BC Ferries, local government, and the sponsorship of the Gibsons & District Chamber of Commerce. For more details, please email or call Christine [email protected] (604-740-0822) or Diane [email protected] (604-740-0452).
