Thank you for your interest in supporting our community by volunteering. Below are the current volunteer opportunities along with instructions on how to volunteer for them.

NARC Casino

October 31 and November 1 at the Grand Villa Casino located in Rogers Place, downtown Edmonton.

Well, here we are, with the Casino just over a week away, and we are still DESPERATELY short of volunteers!

For those that don't know, this casino is the majority of the clubs yearly income, and if we default on our volunteering, we will be blackballed for YEARS!

I am still short two day shift Cashiers on November 1st, from 1:30pm to 8:30pm,

And 10 volunteers for both October 31st and November 1st, from 11:00pm to 3:30am

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, if you can spare a few hours from your evening to help the club, Reach out to me as soon as you can.

Thank you!
