Once your registration is recorded in our system via our website, a confirmation of receipt will appear on the screen. A person in charge of recruiting volunteers for the Carnival will contact you as of September to confirm the information in your file (the timeframe may vary). Later, a member of the committee you selected will contact you.
Depending on schedules and assignments, some volunteers have access to meal services or snacks.
Volunteers’ work shifts vary depending on the activity and the committee’s needs.
Yes. At your first assignment, you will be given proof of accreditation that grants you access to all Carnival sites and events. You may use it at any time when you are not on duty. All Carnival volunteers also get a volunteer’s pin, special discounts at the “Boutique de Bonhomme,” and an invitation to take part in various activities including the Volunteer Recognition Evening.
You are not required to be available all the time. However, for logistical reasons, you must be available for at least 1 full shift which is around 6 hours.
You may register any time using our registration form since we keep all applications even if the volunteer team is full for the current year. The best time to register, however, is as of September.
