Volunteer with us! Courtenay Recreation has gradually resumed programs and services, thanks to all those in our community who have received their vaccinations and paved the way for this careful and safe return to pre-pandemic activities. All Courtenay Recreation activities closely follow current Provincial Health Officer Orders. With the resumption of programs comes an even greater need for volunteers. Interested in crafts, sports, or special events? There’s a volunteer opportunity for that. If you would like to support your community by joining our team, please visit www.courtenay.ca/volunteer to learn more. Deep gratitude goes out to our patrons for their understanding as services continue to evolve and adapt - and of course a huge thank you to staff, instructors, and volunteers for continuing to go above and beyond to maintain the programs and facilities we know and love.
