In the event the Marshall does not have a cell phone, make sure that someone in the group does & ensure the Grand Marshal has the phone number, if not, speak to the Grand Marshall about alternative communication arrangements.
At the prescribed time, the car pool shall proceed to the event site.
At the event site, make sure that all cars are off the roadway, and do not block entrances to fields or driveways.
The Marshall should always be cognizant of the exact location, by 911 number in case of emergency.
Should an emergency exist, The Marshall should communicate with the Grand Marshall at phone 705-345-1919, indicating the nature of the emergency, location and requirements.
CERT medical personnel will be stationed at the Carden Recreation Centre and ready to assist emergencies.
The Event Marshall must keep very close track of the time, as travel time back to the Recreation Centre is included in the event time. Persons in each group are expecting to be back at the Centre in time for their next event. Make sure that no garbage is left at the site.
