My name is Matt Timberlake, and I am one of the coaches for the rugby team at Wellington Heights in Mount Forest.


We require an AT to be at each of our home games (which we play in Palmerston), and we have booked one for all but one game...and we are unfortunately running out of time to find one!


The game is May 3rd at 3:30pm at Norwell DHS in Palmerston (our field is being ripped up). The game is an hour long, with a 10 minute half. Your responsiblility would be to provide basic on-field assessment of injuries, some first aid, and a professional opinion about treatment options. I am a Kinesiologist myself (besides being a teacher), but we need a person not related to either school to be at the game. In the past, we have paid $75+HST for an AT to be there, plus travel expenses. This is negotiable. If interested, please contact Matthew at the email address below.

Oxfam Trailwalker Coverage Needed

From Amanda:

Attention Third Years: You will be working ion crews on the Friday and Saturday. We will be sleeping over. There is no limit to the amount of students who can help as long as they have CPR, and their hours of the event can count as either field or clinic as this event is a mixture of both.

They are coming on April 29th to present and any students who would like to participate along with myself, Nicole and the internship student should email me.

This is the national event and is a great resume builder for those who may like to further their careers in that area. Plus it's really fun.
