The Steveston Salmon Festival organizers still need volunteers for their July 1 extravaganza.

With so many options to choose among, you can contribute a few hours and still have lots of time left to enjoy the day with your friends and family.

The list runs the gamut from early morning parade marshalling to clean-up after the fun is over, and everything in between.

And you get more than just the fun of participating in our village’s fête of the year, there’s swag to be had.

“Volunteers will receive a Salmon Festival t-shirt, lanyard, nylon string backpack and swag, and a relaxing volunteer lounge supplied with a variety of food and beverages for break times to keep you hydrated and energized for the day. Volunteers can also enter a free draw to win some fun prizes as well,“ according to Janice Froese, the administrative co-ordinator.

It’s a great chance to not only help out but to meet other members of the Richmond community. It is neighbours helping neighbours to have a fun-filled day.

“We are making some exciting changes to this year’s festival and we are eager to work with our volunteer team to make the 2018 Steveston Salmon Festival the best one yet. I would like to give a huge Thank You to all our past and future volunteers. The Steveston Salmon Festival would not be possible without your help,” says Josiane Leguerrier, volunteer co-ordinator.
