This past Spring the Team had the amazing opportunity to work alongside the Calgary Marathon in a customer service support capacity. Coming to the Marathon as an organized, disciplined Team well suited to working with each other. The Crimson Sabres were tasked with the opportunity to conduct access control for the entire event.
Arriving at 0500 on race day the Crimson Sabres, led by Sabre Commander M. Nelson and Sabre Corporal’ s S. Black and S. Sentner, they set out to the task at hand. Duties during the day were not limited to just access control. Crimson Sabres could be seen assisting with start and finish line setup, marshalling of runners and assisting with directions in and around the venue. Along with a few convergent volunteers and prospective recruits, the Crimson Sabres logged 100 volunteer man hours for the day.
A very successful day and a mission accomplished.
