Benefits of Volunteering
According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, "The Voluntary Sector is an important contributor to the well-being of families, communities, and individuals across the country." There are many indirect benefits for those who contribute time and energy through volunteering. It is a great way to make new friends, to develop new skills and abilities, attain valuable employment experience, and to broaden one's perspective. Volunteers may request complimentary tickets once they have volunteered for 10 events. There are only 4 tickets available per event. First come, first serve. Tickets requests must be submitted to the Box Office.
Your Impact
Our team of 60+ volunteers work over 2,350 hours each year to assist at our events with the running of the coat check, bar and concession, artist merchandise sales, and working as ushers. We cannot host events without volunteers!
