Summer in Sunrise Corner is something special. The long days, warm evenings, and beautiful southeast Manitoba landscape make the perfect backdrop for the community events we all love – festivals, markets, parades, and more. These events don’t just happen on their own, though. Behind every smiling child with an ice cream cone, every live music performance, and every delicious community BBQ is a team of dedicated volunteers who help bring the fun to life.
This summer, we’re inviting you to be part of the magic!
Volunteering at local events in Sunrise Corner is a great way to get involved, meet your neighbours, and make a real impact. Whether you’ve got a few hours or a whole weekend to spare, there’s a role for everyone – from helping with setup and cleanup to running kids’ activities or greeting guests at the gate.
Why volunteer?
First, it’s fun! Community events are full of energy, music, and good vibes. Volunteering puts you right in the heart of it all. Instead of just attending, you help shape the experience and create memories for others – and yourself.
Second, it’s a great way to connect. Summer events bring people together, and volunteering helps you meet new friends and strengthen community ties. For youth, it’s also a great way to earn volunteer hours and build experience.
Third, you make a real difference. Local events support our economy, bring visitors to the region, and highlight what makes Sunrise Corner so special. Your time and effort help create something that benefits the whole community.
And don’t worry if you’re new to volunteering – everyone’s welcome! Whether you’re 15 or 85, there’s a place for you. You’ll get guidance and support, and you’ll finish your shift feeling proud of what you’ve contributed.
