Volunteer with us!
BE PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL!
The Welcome to Burnaby Fair 2026 (September 18th, 2026)
is bringing our community together — and we need volunteers like you!
This is a great opportunity to be part of an amazing team, gain hands-on volunteer experience, and help support 30+ community resource booths and hundreds of participants at one of Burnaby’s largest community events.
Volunteers will work closely with the Burnaby Village Museum (BVM) staff and event team. Selected volunteers will receive a short online orientation with the Event Manager beforehand, and the invitation link will be provided in advance.
🌟 Simple application
🌟 No experience required
🌟 A great way to give back
