Volunteer to give back to the Dalhousie Community!
The Dalhousie Community Association (DCA) offers volunteer opportunities in our programs, services, Community Garden, Events, Board of Directors, ice rink maintenance in the winter, Farmers Markets, fundraisers, and more. Volunteering for the community can bring numerous benefits, both for the individual and the community as a whole.
- Building a Sense of Community: Volunteering is a great way to connect with your neighbours. You’ll meet new people, form friendships, and develop a sense of belonging.
- Skill Development: Volunteering develops a wide range of skills, from leadership and communication to problem-solving and teamwork.
- Promoting Community Engagement: Volunteering can inspire others, including friends and neighbours, to participate in community events and programs.
- Personal Fulfillment: Volunteering allows you to make a meaningful difference in your community.

It raises more money for the amount of volunteer hours than any other fundraiser. In addition to receiving unlimited snacks and drinks during your shift, you will also receive a meal. It is a great time to visit and get to know your neighbours.

Dalhousie Community Garden and Food Forest
The Dalhousie Garden Committee is looking to expand the team. We have a number of volunteer positions that we need help with. Some roles may consist of multiple volunteers or one volunteer may hold multiple roles based on seasonal workload.
The Dalhousie Community Garden and Food Forest is an interactive, accessible and beautiful communal space for Dalhousie residents to gather and grow together. Developing a food forest and community garden beds fills a void within Dalhousie community: a destination that encourages residents to spend time outside, in a space that is cared for and loved by residents themselves. It gives a sense of ownership to the area, encouraging people to see themselves as stewards of communal space in addition to their own.
If you have any questions, please email garden@dalhousiecalgary.ca.
