Join the NCC’s volunteer team and experience Canada Day like never before!

Preparations for Canada Day 2013 are well under way, and the National Capital Commission (NCC) is currently looking for enthusiastic individuals who would like to lend a hand during the July 1st celebrations. Every year, more than 500 volunteers help the NCC welcome the hundreds of thousands of visitors who take part in the festivities organized on July 1st in Canada’s Capital Region at three official sites: Parliament Hill and Major’s Hill Park in Ottawa, and at  Jacques-Cartier Park in Gatineau. Volunteers fulfill a variety of tasks, such as distributing Canadian flags, assisting individuals with special needs, lending a hand at the various craft, face painting and games areas for kids, and acting as information officers. Individuals interested in helping the NCC and experiencing Canada Day in Canada’s Capital Region in an exciting new way can contact the NCC Volunteer Centre by telephone at 613-239-5373 or by email at volunteer_benevoles@ncc-ccn.ca. The volunteer registration form can also be downloaded from the NCC’s website at www.canadascapital.gc.ca/volunteer. Manulife Financial is the official sponsor of the Canada Day Volunteer program.
