(St. John’s, NL – August 6, 2024) — As the countdown to the 2025 Canada Games begins, the 2025 Canada Games Host Society is inviting individuals to apply to become a Games-time volunteer from August 8-25, 2025. The Host Society, alongside volunteers, athletes and partners celebrated this milestone on Tuesday by launching the volunteer registration portal as part of the Volunteer Program presented by Atlantic Lottery.

In order to host the nation, the Host Society is looking for the enthusiasm, hospitality, and expertise of approximately 5,000 volunteers in a variety of roles to help deliver a life-shaping Games experience for all participants. Over 500 bilingual volunteers will also be recruited to deliver a Games experience in both of Canada’s Official Languages.

“From transportation to food services and minor officials to photographers, there are over 150 different roles and 30,000 hours of volunteer shifts to fill to help us successfully host the 2025 Games,” said Kim Keating and Karl Smith, Co-Chairs of the 2025 Canada Games Board. “The Volunteer Program presented by Atlantic Lottery is crucial in ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of the Games while creating a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere for all participants.”

Volunteers who commit a minimum of 32 hours during Games time will receive comprehensive training and orientation, experience in the sports and entertainment industry, a volunteer uniform, and an accreditation badge.
