Volunteer Opportunity – Spring Tonic Maple Syrup Festival
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority and the Rotary Club of Barrie are looking for volunteers for the Spring Tonic Maple Syrup Festival, happening April 6 & 7 at the Tiffin Centre for Conservation. They hope you will consider joining their team!
The festival is an annual event that has been held for over three decades and celebrates an important Canadian tradition – maple syrup. Every year, the festival offers many activities like tractor wagon rides, petting exotic animals, and learning outdoor skills with cadets.
Volunteers play a large part in the success of the event. All proceeds from the Spring Tonic go towards the community projects and the maintenance of NVCA’s conservation areas.
Volunteer roles include parking attendants, interactive tree-tapping demonstrations, overseeing a craft room, bird box building station, button making and more.
A brief orientation will be provided for volunteers at the beginning of each shift, and lunch will be provided for volunteers working for a full day.
The festival will run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day. Volunteers can sign up for a full day or half day. A morning shift runs from 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., and the afternoon shift is 12:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. A full day shift goes from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
If you are interested in volunteering with them for Spring Tonic, please contact Elise Barr-Klouman to let her know your preferred shifts. Once she knows everyone’s availability, they will start designating roles.
Many thanks!
