Context of the mandate

The Valiquette Foundation is seeking enthusiastic and reliable volunteers to help organise and support our annual Halloween celebration for children and families in Côte-des-Neiges, Montréal.

The event will take place on Saturday, 31 October 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Our celebration will feature two activity rooms: one for children aged 4–8, offering a Halloween movie, popcorn, drawing and creative activities, and another for children aged 9 and older and adults, featuring Halloween activities, candy, snacks and refreshments.

We are organising two volunteer teams to assist with event preparation, logistical support and cleanup. Volunteers may choose the shift that best suits their availability.

Our goal is to provide a safe, welcoming and memorable Halloween celebration for local families, particularly those who may face financial barriers to recreational opportunities.

Tasks

Group 1 – Setup Team | 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

• Put up Halloween decorations in both activity rooms.
