Join us for a 4 hour shift and then spend the rest of the day at the Festival on us. .Scheduling for volunteers is flexible – morning, afternoon or evening shifts are available. It’s easy to volunteer – just complete the online volunteer application form or update your file if you are a returning volunteer. Go to our website www.canadablooms.com and sign up today!
Note: Due to technical difficulties with the volunteer application, we ask that if you signed up online to help between October 5th and November 27th, that please complete the application again. We are sorry for any inconvenience this might cause. |

Member companies of Landscape Ontario and the Nursery Sod Growers Association pulled off an amazing restoration of St. James Park in Toronto over a two-day blitz, at no cost to Toronto taxpayers. All of the equipment, labour and materials were generously donated by companies and individuals in the landscape industry, who understand how vital green space is for local residents and businesses. Organizers are being overwhelmed with letters of thanks
