The Abbotsford Airshow is made possible through the support, dedication and participation of our many volunteers. We’d love to have you join our team and share the excitement!

Online 2020 volunteer registration is now available. Please click on the area(s) that interest you and complete the application. Please understand that we do our best to accommodate volunteer requests, but we can’t always place every volunteer in their desired area.

What’s in it for you?

• Specific training as required – learn new skills!

• A great experience as an ambassador for Canada’s National Airshow
• Gain volunteer/community service hours for student programs

Guest Services – Guest Services is one of the most important positions at the Airshow! We have numerous opportunities to host or serve in various Airshow venues. Some serving areas require volunteers to be 19 years or older. ServingItRight and/or FoodSafe certifications are an asset.

Onsite Operations – These positions help keep the show running smoothly and can include a variety of tasks.

Patron Safety – Patron Safety volunteers operate alongside local police and security personnel to keep our show and guests safe. This includes a variety of duties across the event grounds. Volunteers for this crew must be 18 years or older.

Setup & Takedown – Much of the most critical work to make the Airshow possible happens long before our planes take to the sky. From June through end of August, many preparations are made to ready the Airport for the Airshow and then restore it again, including:

• Painting & Construction projects
• Equipment & Facility repairs
• Plumbing & Electrical preparations

All volunteers will treat staff, patrons and other volunteers with respect at all times. Volunteers are expected to be dependable and willing to do their jobs to the best of their ability at all times. Some volunteer positions may require specific expertise and security clearances. All volunteers may be subject to background and criminal record checks.
