Making Old Ottawa East an Even Better Place to Live, Work, and Play!
Get Involved
Volunteers are the heart of CAG events!
​
CAG is proud to hold fun and engaging community-based, volunteer-run events throughout the year, and we could always use an extra set of helping hands! These wonderful events include Weekly Community BBQs at Brantwood Park, Winter Party in the Park, the Valentine's Skate, the Main Event and more. ​
​
Whether you're new to the neighbourhood or looking to get more involved in your favourite community event, join us in the joy of making Old Ottawa East a better place to live, work and play!
Volunteering with CAG gives you the opportunity to:
Meet your neighbours!
Learn new skills
Give back to your Old Ottawa East community
Earn volunteer credits for high school students
All volunteer sign-up forms are posted here, so you can select the dates and tasks that work best for you. We strive to offer volunteer shifts that are fun, flexible and leave volunteers plenty of time to enjoy the event themselves!​​​
