Volunteering

Volunteers help with a variety of Township activities, from seniors services and recreation programs to environmental events and festivals!

Boards and committees

We have many municipal boards and committees that provide guidance to members of council. Serving on one is a key way that you can make a difference in your community. We recruit committee and board members with each new term of council, and will fill any vacancies during the term. Contact the Clerk’s Department by email or by phone at 705-728-4784 x2015 to see if there are any current opportunities.

Events and festivals

Get in touch with your local Community Recreation Association or event organizer for volunteering opportunities at upcoming events and festivals.

Outdoor rinks

Maintain neighbourhood rinks by flooding, shovelling and caring for equipment. Contact our Director of Recreation, Parks & Facilities by email or by phone at 705-728-4784 x2053 for details.

Long term care and seniors services

Through the County of Simcoe, volunteers are needed at local long term care and seniors homes. Visit the County website for application forms, available opportunities and more details.

Tree planting

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) relies on volunteers for their community tree planting program. NVCA's "Friends" groups work to maintain and enhance specific conservation areas:

• Friends of Historic ​Fort Willow
• Friends of Minesing Wetlands
