Volunteer positions
Volunteer Opportunities
December 14, Monday 3-5pm
Youth Mentorship Carving Project
Blessing Event Videographer
Aaron Nelson Moody was engaged by Britannia to work in collaboration with local youth to design and execute First Nations themed house posts and ridge beam entrance way for the Britannia Ice Arena. This entranceway is now completed and installed on its permanent home attached to the Britannia Arena. Witnesses are invited to this blessing event to participate in a ceremony which will include singing, drumming, blessing of the posts and beam either through smudging or perhaps water and cedar boughs. Witnesses at this event are there to remember the event and to pass it on as validators of the event.
A volunteer videographer is wanted to record the entire ceremony on a digital video camera so that we can archive this event and present it to members of the community on Dec 16! Volunteer should have an eye for composition or set-up so you know what to record and how and must be comfortable using digital video equipment. Access to your own equipment is an asset, but not necessary. Refreshments available. Entire ceremony is expected to take about 1 hour.
December 18, Friday 8:30am-10:30am and/or 1-2pm

Britannia Aquaponic Project Assistant Coordinator (BAPAC)
A volunteer is wanted to help with the sourcing of material and building of a self-contained food producing system utilizing fish to produce fertilizer for plant food! (how cool is that? :P) Volunteer will report to the Project Coordinator with the Grandview Woodland Food Connection & work closely with Britannia students to help monitor and maintain the system during this time period. Experience and interest with public education and outreach (creation of press releases, posters etc.) are assets but not necessary. The ideal candidate would be resourceful in finding materials, have a keen interest in sustainability and sciences (biology, agriculture, etc.), have some knowledge of fish and gardening and access to a vehicle for transporting materials. The volunteer will gain some training on this amazing system and build your knowledge of aquaponics! There are also opportunities for potential spin-off projects after the successful completion of this in March. Bus tickets and/or gas will be reimbursed for transportation incurred.
If you’re interested in any of these positions, call or email me directly! Thanks and have a wonderful winter season!
