Volunteers for Burnaby Artisan Farmers Market!

4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, BC, V5G1M2 [map]
Ongoing
Burnaby Artisan Farmers Market is looking for volunteers for our summer 2024 season :)

Are you outgoing? Do you like being outside and learning about local farmers and artisans? Do you like eating yummy treats and getting your grocery shopping done early? 

Then we need you! 

We are Located at 4949 Canada Way (the parking lot of Burnaby City Hall, near Deer Lake Park), which is close to multiple bus stops with ample parking for drivers. The market takes place on Saturdays from 9am - 2pm from now until October 26th.

Positions/Shifts available:

Set up (8:00am - 12:00pm): Helping lift and set up tents, tables and chairs. Once the market begins at 9am your role will help out at the Info Booth answering questions from the general public, helping out at the Kids Tent and doing extra tasks as directed and/or needed.

Tear down (12:00pm - 3:00pm): Helping lift and take down tents, tables and chairs. From 12pm - 2pm you will be helping at the Info Booth and providing bathroom breaks for vendors when needed. From 2pm onwards you'll either be helping direct the traffic out or helping dismantle tents, tables and chairs. Our tear down is much quicker than our set up :)

Full-day (8:00am-3:00pm)

We will provide a letter of reference (if needed) and can sign off on volunteer hours.

We encourage everyone to apply by sending an email to our Assistant Market Manager at burnabyassistant@artisanmarkets.ca. Please include a little about yourself and an optional resume, if you wish.

Thank you!
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
As a volunteer you'll have a chance to browse the market, get some grocery shopping done and meet new people. It's a great way to introduce yourself to the wonderful community of vendors and customers alike.
