Your Volunteer Badge – new faceplates ready and being distributed

Hello Volunteers!

It’s that time of year again; time to update your volunteer badge!

Volunteer identification contains three parts:

  • Purple lanyard,
  • Hard backing (badge),
  • and volunteer faceplate (sticker – this year with word volunteer written in purple)
  • Each year, most volunteer faceplate/stickers are updated in an annual renewal process. Your new date of expiry will be November 1, 2017.

Updating your Volunteer Badge Is Easy!

  1. Your staff coordinator will distribute your new volunteer faceplate/sticker with a revised expiry date of November 1, 2017 (they may do this in a volunteer meeting, through Lead Volunteers, Day Captains, or other departmental means which work best for them)
  2. Please gently remove your current faceplate/sticker and discard (no need to return to staff and volunteer resources).
  3. Peel off the adhesive backing of the new faceplate/sticker, and line up with your badge to secure in place.
  4. You’re done!

Please note:  Volunteers, you must remove your current faceplate/sticker. Please do not simply layer the new faceplate over the old; this will affect your badge’s ability to work over time.

If you have any trouble, please don’t hesitate to contact Holly Procktor or Vanessa Bano, in Staff and Volunteer Resources. Just drop by! If we’re not in – ask you fellow volunteers. Many have experience! Cheers!
