BLOCK PARTY 2025 (Fall Kickoff)

 

We are excited to partner with Regal Park and host our second annual Block Party in the Renfrew Community. After being rained out in June, we are looking to host this event on Sunday September 14.

We invite you to join us as a volunteer. Please see the volunteer role descriptions to get a better idea of where you might best be able to help. Note that we do not expect you to complete all the jobs listed in each category; we are hoping for lots of volunteers to help divide the work and make it possible for you to help in a way that works for you.

We also encourage you to plan some time to enjoy this event as a guest. We don’t expect you to work all day! We suggest you plan to attend either for the early shift (10:00 am - 1:00 pm) or the afternoon shift (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm). This will allow you some time to help with setup or clean up, do a volunteer shift in the area of your preference and spend some time enjoying the party! You are of course welcome to stay for the entire day.

If you are not able to volunteer, we still welcome you to attend!
