Interested in becoming an Outreach Volunteer?

Volunteers make these events possible. If you love the Bruce Trail and enjoy sharing that love with others, we’d like to meet you!

Outreach Volunteers promote the Bruce Trail Conservancy, encourage supporters, and sell memberships and merchandise by staffing an information booth at a community event, trade show (like the Outdoor Adventure Show), or BTC-hosted event. Volunteers receive training and generally work with at least one other experienced volunteer or staff member.

Please fill out a volunteer application form and include “Outreach Volunteer” in the positions field:
