Volunteer with us!

The Parks and Recreation Department is looking for volunteers to help us facilitate Party in the Park 2023! As a special event volunteer, you will have the opportunity to help our team execute this community building event. Special event volunteers are “one-offs” in which volunteers are required to only commit for the event day. During the event, volunteers will be assigned various activities which will collectively ensure that our event runs smoothly. Please click on the link below to visit the Townships volunteer page and see our volunteer job descriptions under “Special Events”.
