Volunteer Edmonton is thrilled to be co-hosting and promoting a "Festival Volunteer Fair". * m! I# w- H) p: ~5 y
7 g" f* o y$ v T% L' ?' ZThe estimated number of volunteers required by Edmonton's festivals is about 5000 people! Our festivals are a source of community pride and an important element in the quality of life for Edmontonians in the summer - and beyond! About 48% of Edmontonians donate their time and support in a formal way throughout the year. Volunteer Edmonton is excited to be part of this special volunteer fair which will provide a unique opportunity to involve the 52% of folks who don't formally volunteer - in addition to those who already do!
