Identifying us
Our volunteers will be wearing white t-shirts, with Volunteer logo on the back. Co-ordinators have CREW shirts. The Info Booth folks can also answer any questions you might have.
FESTIVAL FOOD
When you buy snacks, meals, and drinks from the vendors at the festival, you’re supporting local, socially responsible enterprises, as well as supporting fundraising for community groups. As an added bonus, UTV is given a percentage of the proceeds from food vendor sales, so filling your belly also helps to ensure that we generate much-needed revenue.

RECYCLING AND COMPOSTING ON-SITE
We have on-site recycling and composting stations to help reduce our impact on Mother Earth. You can toss all returnable drink containers as well as newsprint/ newspaper into clearly marked bins all around the site. You’ll also find convenient buckets to scrape your food waste into, which will find its way into a composter and ultimately into an organic garden in the City.
Things to keep in mind:
- read the signs on the recycling/composting bins BEFORE you toss your stuff into them;
- napkins and all unmarked plastic (like cutlery ) can NOT be recycled or composted.
- please put garbage in garbage cans, not in recycling. Recycling and composting are things everyone can do everyday, if you want more info or tips on how to make it happen, email : bike@resist.ca

$15-$20 FOR PART-TIME WORKERS,
$20-$25 FOR FULL-TIME WORKERS.
