• Volunteer sign-up for RVWS' Annual Open House, North Gower, ON: Set-up (June 5), Open House (June 6-7), Tear-down (June 8)

    Our Open House is being held in conjunction with Doors Open Ottawa (RAIN OR SHINE) so we expect more than 1,000 visitors a day. To keep everything running smoothly, we have many volunteer rolls to fill, such as installing tents, tables and chairs; tear-down after the event; welcome tent; directing traffic and parking; photographer to take general photos of the event; bake sale station; silent auction tables; merchandise table; 50/50 tickets and raffle sales; food sales and service; kids zone games; face painting; photo booth; donation/payment stations; eating and relaxing area, general help and more. We'll be in touch regarding your preferences, instructions and street address (which is not public) closer to the event date. We can't thank you enough for your help. We would also love donations to our vegan bake sale.
  • Format: (000) 000-0000.
  • What day/time would you like to help out (choose all that apply)?

  • Vegan Bake Sale

  • I would love to bring a vegan dessert to your bake sale (baking vegan is easy, see suggested recipes at https://www.loveandlemons.com/vegan-desserts/). We suggest 12-24 portions for smaller items like cookies or squares. To help us out, please package them up in suitable portions for a family. You can apply a sticker, masking tape, or a tag with any allergens (e.g. contains nuts, gluten, etc), gluten-free, etc. We have limited fridge and freezer space so we ask that you bring it to RVWS a day or two before the event, or at the event.

  • General Notes

  • We will have snacks and drinks on site for set-up on June 5 and take-down on June 8, and free vegan lunch for all volunteers on Saturday and Sunday. We have bug spray and sunscreen on site, but you might want to bring your own. 

    Please note that there is no public transportation to RVWS. We are located about 30 minutes south of west end Ottawa, 45 minutes from downtown and about 1 hour from the east end. We'll email our street address prior to the event. 

    For any questions, please send an email to events@rideauwildlife.org or call 613-258-9480 ext 3. Thank you!
