🚧 Service Gate – Hamilton Road
Help keep access safe and smooth at the Service Gate. You’ll redirect general traffic while allowing entry for ♿ accessible parking, vendors, and volunteers—maintaining speeds around 20 km/h. Walk-in fairgoers may be admitted here after payment. You may also be asked to scan advance tickets and process same-day payments using FrontDoor+, our event check-in and payment system. This role involves extended standing and assisting with gate security and flow. Work is outdoors with full weather exposure. ⛅
