The Kamloops Sports Council supports and organizes a variety of sporting and community events throughout the year. They work closely with local organizations to promote active living, coordinate volunteers, and create inclusive, well-run events for the entire community.
By volunteering at the Kamloops Christmas Market, you play an important role in bringing the community together and helping make the event run smoothly. A great way to get involved in the community, meet new people, and be part of a cherished local holiday tradition.
This is the right role for you if you are someone who:
Enjoys working with people and creating a positive, welcoming environment
Is organized, reliable, and comfortable handling money or interacting with the public
Wants to support community events and be part of a fun, festive atmosphere
Can work well as part of a team and adapt to a fast-paced event setting
A Christmas Market Volunteer’s main tasks are:
Ticket and alcohol sales (Serving It Right certification may be required)
Providing support to vendors and answering guest questions
Ensure a smooth event, assisting with setup, takedown, and general event operations
Assisting with crowd flow and keeping the event space clean, safe, and enjoyable for all attendees
No previous experience is required to volunteer, and training will be provided before the event to ensure you feel confident in your role. However, experience in customer service or event settings is an asset, and a Serving It Right certification is beneficial for roles involving alcohol sales.
Time commitment:
Shifts are 4 hours long each and we ask that volunteers commit to approximately 3 shifts during the 10-day period.
Volunteering in this role offers you:
Access to the market
Experience in event coordination, customer service, and teamwork
Networking with community members, organizations, and businesses
A chance to build new skills and gain confidence
Complimentary snacks, warm beverages, and volunteer appreciation perks
