Canadian Heritage is looking for volunteers interested in helping with this major winter celebration. Residents of the Ottawa-Gatineau region are invited to join the team of volunteers for the 39^th Winterlude, which will take place from February 3 to 20, 2017.

Enjoy a rewarding volunteer experience while savouring the joys of winter in a gigantic snow playground. As a volunteer, you could be assigned to one of the following positions: information officer, activities assistant, crowd control officer or snow slide assistant. You might even get to entertain visitors of all ages by dressing up as your favourite Ice Hog! There are lots of ways to lend a hand and have fun at the same time!
