Help make history come alive for Calgarians and visitors from around the world! As a Lougheed House volunteer you will also meet new people, learn new skills and be part of a great team.
Cowboys Casino
The Lougheed House Conservation Society is recruiting volunteers for an upcoming Casino fundraiser on August 12 and 13 at Cowboys Casino. Volunteer with a friend and have a great day or night supporting the Beltline's favourite historic house, museum, and gardens! Casino fundraisers enable us to continue delivering engaging exhibits and programming to our community like trivia nights and events in the gardens.
No previous experience is necessary. Free underground parking, a meal, and refreshments are provided for volunteers during their shift.
Gardens
These volunteers assist our Head Gardener in nurturing and beautifying the Beaulieu Gardens on the 2.8 acre historic estate. If you like digging, planting, weeding, deadheading, watering and socializing, this is for you!
Note: We have completed our Volunteer recruitment for this spring. You are welcome to submit an application to be contacted should there be openings on our garden team in the future.
Events & Programs
Lougheed House hosts several events each year where volunteers are needed. Jobs may include, assisting with children's activities, helping serve pancake breakfasts, distributing information to guests, or even taking the role of Santa Claus!
