If any CSSC members do get selected to volunteer at the Games, we would love to hear from you as CSSC has allocated funding for volunteers to help with expenses. If any of you know any other civil servants who are not currently CSSC members and will be participating or volunteering at the Games, again get them to apply to us for funding!
