Volunteer

Are you looking to get involved with a community-oriented group in the Bow Valley where every night feels like a night out with friends and family? Or just a fan of Junior hockey in Alberta? or perhaps need to fill some more volunteer hours from the high school?

Alberta Health Services volunteers are an integral part of the healthcare team, supporting and enhancing the work of our healthcare professionals.

Volunteers in Canmore are engaged in meaningful activities and roles such as patient visitation, driving clients to medical appointments, feeding assistance in Long Term Care, hospital gardening, Ladies Auxiliary activities, pet visitation and much more.

The Canmore and Area Mountain Bike Association (CAMBA is a non-profit society whose mandate is to advocate for mountain biking and strive for a vibrant and exciting trail system for all ages and abilities.

If getting your hands dirty is not your thing, no problem. We have other volunteer opportunities in social media and communication, fundraising, advocacy, and social events.
