Parade Marshall Volunteer
About the application
Do you want a front row seat to watch the parade? A parade can't take place without the support of amazing volunteers! We need dedicated people who will position themselves at a designated intersection along the parade route, ensuring no vehicles enter between 4:45p and when the parade passes their intersection (may be 20 minutes or up to one hour). Calgary City Police will be at alternating intersections with volunteers to enure the best possible experience for all!
