Volunteer With Us

Join the Board

We are looking for enthusiastic and community-orientated residents to join our board. Nominations and voting happen each November at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the community centre. All roles are volunteer roles. Note that only members can vote but anybody can get a membership. The board meetings happen on the first Wednesday of the month, 11 months of the year (we usually take a break in July). The board meetings are 7:30-9:30 p.m. We meet in person at the Deer Run Community Centre. Learn more in Board Members.

Photographer -On Going

The DRCA host’s many events during the year including the DRCA Stampede Breakfast, the family Christmas party, the family Easter party and so many more. We are looking for someone who has a passion for photography and volunteering, to take pictures at community events to be then used on our DRCA social media and newsletter. This position doesn’t require any fancy equipment or skills! We just want to catch the fun moments in our community. If this position interests you, please email newsletter@deerruncalgary.com .

Outdoor rink committee- Current

We are getting ready to make some big changes to our outdoor skating rink. To do so we are creating a committee of volunteers that can help manage the development of our rink renovations. Some of the future plans the board members have discussed included: placement of recreational skating area, placement of pavement and board for hockey rink, placement of light poles, and placement of future buildings (heated garage, possible indoor rink). Ideal experience would include project management, creative problem solving, planning, hockey and/or other ice sports. We are waiting for our budget to be approved, so we need volunteers ASAP! If you are interested email our centre manager, Rob, expressing your interest at info@deerruncalgary.com or call 403-278-3117.

DRCA Stampede Breakfast - June 22, 2024

Mark the date on your calendar! As usual it’s all free, and is a family event with games, treats for the kids, line dancing, music and a super breakfast. Without our valued volunteers the DRCA would’t be able to run community events like the DRCA Stampede Breakfast! Volunteer opportunities are: set up crew, pancake flippers, serving crew, runners crew, juice crew, membership crew, animal clean up crew, and tear down crew.
