Getting Involved

Here's your chance to get in on all the action! Be part of an experience you'll never forget. Why sit back and cheer on your favourite team from the bleachers when you can be right down on the course with them?

As a volunteer, not only will you have access to areas closed to the public, we'll make sure you're camera ready when you get your free t-shirt and wristband. Oh and of course our sponsors will keep free food and refreshments coming your way all day long!

This isn't just our time to shine, it's yours!

For volunteer opportunities please contact the City of Quinte West at 613.392.2841 or
