Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in

Ottewell is a fantastic place to live, raise a family, and enjoy events and programs with your neighbours! We are constantly making improvements, which would not be possible without YOU, the Community members. There are so many opportunities to make a difference in your community.
Currently Looking For:
Thursday Market Volunteers
Help us set-up, facilitate, and answer any questions customers & small businesses might have in our local community league!
You don’t need to come every Thursday, we’re looking to build a roster of available volunteers, volunteer with a friend and hang out at the market for a couple hours, supporting small business YEG!
Typical hours are from 2:30 to greet the vendors and assist with marketing opening and operations, selling memberships, fundraisers, and take down/ clean until 7:30pm. We can adjust the schedule to meet your needs. We welcome any hours you want to give!
Help the community with our annual casino fundraiser 2023!
