Wanted: Street Team for Sled Island
It’s that time of year. Sled Island Music and Film Festival time of year that is.
The line-up is pretty wicked this time around and we need some equally wicked volunteers to go to the shows (volunteers will receive festival passes) and watch Girl Talk, King Khan & BBQ, The Posies, and lots more. And, of course, to spread the word that civic involvement is the new black, I mean pink. Watch the shows, snap some photos and show Canadians how hot democracy is.

A is B is a non-partisan non-profit charitable organization that tries to show youth that democracy is sexy through art and technology and wicked musicians like the performers at Sled Island.

We want dynamic, dedicated, and (obviously) organized volunteers from across Canada to be part of this summer’s Street Team campaign. We will be selecting volunteers based on experience and an interview.
