Get Started

Occasionally the RCMP Heritage Centre hosts large special events that require volunteer support. Duties may include event set-up and takedown, as well as greeting the public.

A docent is someone who shares information with visitors about the RCMP Heritage Centre, its exhibits, and the RCMP historical collection. Docents also answer visitor questions and ensure that prohibited activities (such as eating in the exhibit gallery) do not occur. This opportunity is great for someone who likes to interact with a large number of people. In particular, current and retired members of the RCMP are always welcome, as visitors love to hear your stories and experiences.

Each year, the RCMP Heritage Centre provides educational programming to thousands of young people. Volunteers are needed to help with organizing materials, working with school groups, and supporting our programming team.

Behind the RCMP Heritage Centre exists a team of people who are responsible for operations, marketing, fundraising, and programming.  As a non-profit, we rely on volunteers to help us enhance these areas with their skills and time.

Volunteers play a key role in the successful operation of the RCMP Heritage Centre gift shop.  Working in this area, you will complement visitor’s experiences at the RCMP Heritage Centre by helping customers, performing light cleaning duties, and completing purchases.
