Volunteering

Province House National Historic Site © Parks Canada / J. Butterhill / H.02.22.06.09(01), 1995

Some national parks and national historic sites take applicants (foreign and Canadian) for volunteer positions. For Canadian applicants, you should directly contact the national parks and national historic sites which interest you. Remember to include the nature of your studies and the dates which you would like to work.

For foreign applicants to be considered for a volunteer position, you must first fill out a questionnaire which you can obtain by writing to:

Co-ordinator
Parks Canada National Volunteer Program
25 Eddy Street, 4th Floor
Hull, Quebec
Canada
K1A 0M5

The questionnaire must be returned to the same address.

Or, you can request the questionnaire (and other information) via e-mail

Canadian applicants can also submit a questionnaire to the above address if they don't have in mind a specific park or site they would like to volunteer in. If they want to volunteer far from home, they can use this address to obtain some direction concerning possibilities offered in other regions of Canada.

The deadline for summer or autumn placement through the central co-ordinator is December 1 of the preceding year. The deadline for winter and spring placement is June 30 of the preceding year.

If there is a volunteer position where your skills and experience can be used, you will be contacted by Parks Canada staff, by letter or phone.
