Parkinson Canada Growling Beaver 2026

As a Growling Beaver event day volunteer, you will help raise awareness about Parkinson's in your community while having fun doing it! Event day volunteers provide support in a variety of ways. By helping with pre-event set up and registration on Friday, cheering on riders as they complete the route, supporting participant registration, helping with set up, and everything in between, volunteers are an important component of a successful event.

We are looking to fill the following volunteer shifts:

Friday, October 2, 2026

4:00-6:30PM - Registration

4:00-6:30PM - Merchandise sales

4:00-6:30PM - Beaver mascot
