Volunteer

We’ve got a number of ways you can earn volunteer hours with Kanata Race Day. Please note that we’ll only sign off on hours completed. Additionally, if you have to cancel, you can do that through the email you receive. Your spot will automatically open back up for someone else to take.

ALL volunteer opportunities are listed on the page at the link below and will fill up quickly. You can request to be notified if spots come available due to cancellations or additional volunteer needs are added.
