Habitat Calgary both participates in and benefits from special events throughout the year.  From large golf tournament and raffles held in our name to our annual Playhouse Raffle, special event volunteers are essential to the success of every event. 

Event responsibilities are determined case by case and positions are offered to interested volunteers through our website, via email notification or by newsletter posting.  Time commitments will vary by position and event and may involve responsibilities during the day or evening, on weekdays or weekends.
