VOLUNTEER
To thank our awesome volunteers, they will be fed throughout the day and will receive receive some great perks like a volunteer Ribfest shirt!
One of the better-known benefits of volunteering is the impact it can have on the community as volunteers are often the glue that holds it together. Even helping out with the smallest of tasks can make a real difference to the lives of people and organizations in need.
Volunteering at RIBFEST is a two-way street. Not only can it can benefit you and your family as much as the causes Rotary supports, but dedicating your time as a volunteer can help you make new friends, expand your network, and boost your social skills.
RIBFEST volunteers can self-register for shifts they are interested in using our volunteer portal through the link above.
If you have any issues or would like to enquire about volunteering, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator:

Gather together your sports team, community organization, neighbourhood association, or even just a group of friends and register to volunteer together!

Police Information Checks
A police information check is required for some volunteer positions. There are two types:
- Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening (PIC-VS) check is required if you will be working with children in the Family Zone.
- Police Information Check (PIC) check is required if you will be handling any cash on site (ticket sales, pop sales, etc.)
We urge you to apply early, especially for the “Vulnerable Sector Screening (PIC-VS)” check, as they can take some time and the police department has limited ability to process a large volume of requests in a short time frame.
You will need provide us a copy of your Clearance letter. All letters will be kept confidential.
