Our park spaces, shrub and flower beds, walkways and other green spaces would not be the same without the support and dedication of our program volunteers. They help to maintain vibrant spaces throughout the city for all to enjoy. 

Volunteers may work alone, as partners or in groups. If under the age of 18, the volunteer must be accompanied by an adult.  

Groups of volunteers working together are permitted; however, each volunteer MUST register individually and may reference their group name (i.e. Afton Crescent Cul-de-sac) in the Registration Form. 

All volunteers are identified by the hoop signs at their site. Once you are registered, you will be provided with a sign for your site. All signs are collected by staff at the end of the season. 

All volunteers report to the Partners in Parks program staff, who are City of St. Albert employees.
