We’ve got big repairs needed at Ritchie hall, and that means we need funds to help. Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis grants provide a large portion of these funds. You can support our efforts by volunteering at one of our assigned casino dates.
Never volunteered at a casino before? Don’t worry: all casino volunteers receive on-the-job training from an AGLC staff member who remains present and available to help for the duration of your shift.
Some positions include significant down time. You can spend that time chatting with fellow volunteers, working on other projects in the volunteer room, reading, etc.
Our next casino is in 2026. We’ll be looking for a casino volunteer coordinator in 2025. Here are all the positions that will need to be filled:
