A variety of interesting and diverse roles are available for volunteers at Canada Day, Celebrate the Night and other Maple Ridge festivals. Come find out more about getting involved in community events and projects by attending a Volunteer Information Session on Tuesday, June 12 in the Fraser Room, Maple Ridge Public Library.
