Parks volunteer opportunities

Parks welcomes groups, organizations and individuals to step forward to see how they can positively impact their community through volunteering. If you would like to dedicate some time, please complete the parks volunteer request form below. We appreciate everyone’s contributions in making Airdrie a great place to live and be!

Please review the parks volunteer guidelines prior to submitting a volunteer request. Applicants must be 18+ years.

Complete the parks volunteer request

1. Review the Parks volunteer guidelines and communicate the information to all volunteers.
2. Complete a volunteer request form.
3. Submit a Certificate of Insurance prior to the event (if applicable)
4. Perform an on site inspection of the area with a city representative prior to the activity.

Applicants are responsible to train and communicate essential information to all volunteers prior to commencing their volunteer activity.  

Task appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is always required during volunteer activities on city land. This will be determined based on the type of work that will be performed. Parks will make every effort to provide sufficient tools and supplies to volunteers for a successful event. In some cases, volunteers will be expected to supply some items as well. 

 Reminder: Workers are entitled to three basic rights: 

1. Right to know the hazards
2. Right to participate in health and safety activities
3. Right to refuse unsafe work

 If a city representative determines a request to be high-risk, it will not be permitted or considered for parks volunteers.
