Once the request has been made and as soon as they are able, students must contact their instructor(s) to make alternative arrangements for extensions or other consideration. A Verification of Illness form or other supporting documentation may be required, depending on the duration of the extenuating circumstances.”

Kingston Gets Active is seeking volunteers! If you love being active, are passionate about healthy living and want to inspire others, this is the job for you.

What do Volunteer Ambassadors do? Ambassadors attend community events, give presentations, and lead fit breaks. They let others know about great ways to get active in the Kingston area by sharing resources and information on physical activity. There are lots of ways to be involved, depending upon your interests; and there is lots of flexibility too. We ask that you commit to helping with at least 4 events/year.

Interested in joining our team of volunteers? We offer a free training to give you all the skills you need. The next training will take place the fall, 2018. For more information, contact Kristin at info@KingstonGetsActive.ca or call 613-533-6000 x79178.
