Call for volunteers
To make this event happen, the Fire and Ice team are urgently looking for volunteers. There are several volunteer positions available including ticket sales, tube run attendants, set up and tear down crew, carnival game coordinators and more. Join a team of dedicated community members that work hard to bring this magical event to life.
Depending on the position, volunteers will need to be available for various shifts on Friday, January 27 from 6 to 10 pm and/or Saturday, January 28 from 6:30 am to 10 pm. Volunteers do not need to be available for the entire time – every shift helps! Every volunteer will participate in a mandatory training session and receive a Fire and Ice toque, free event admission and a tube-run fast pass. Volunteers will also be invited to participate in a volunteer appreciation night event following the festival to celebrate their hard work and achievements.
Play a vital role in celebrating the community and supporting Bracebridge’s tourism sector. High-school aged volunteers will be eligible to receive documentation towards their 40-hours of community service.
