Organization Policies
The next step to joining the City Cultural Events Volunteer Team is to attend a Recruitment Session! (If you have already attended please disregard!) At this session, you will learn more about our events, and volunteer roles and complete a short interview. Once approved you will be able to access My Volunteer Page to view and sign up for available shifts. As an accepted volunteer you never need to attend another recruitment session. If you have already attended a session we will approve you shortly!
Recruitment Sessions will resume in Spring 2026.
Please check back to see if more session have been added.
As a volunteer, I fully understand and agree to the following:
- That I will not receive any remuneration, salary, wage, payment or any employee benefit whatsoever, or be covered by Workers’ Safety and Insurance benefits.
- That except as authorized, I will not use the City’s facilities and equipment.
- That in consideration of being permitted to participate as a volunteer, I agree to assume all risk of loss or injury, including death to myself or damage to my property while on any of the premises of the City of Toronto and elsewhere resulting directly or indirectly from my activities and performance as a volunteer. In the event that I am injured and my next of kin cannot be contacted, I give my permission to the attending physician to render such treatment as would be normal.
- That I release the City of Toronto and its employees, agents and assigns for any and all claims for personal injury and/or property damage that may arise from or be in any way connected to my participation as a volunteer for the City of Toronto. I understand that this release applies to both present and future injuries and that it binds my heirs, executors and administrators. I have read this release and understand all of its terms. I sign it voluntarily and with full knowledge of its significance.
- That in the course of participating in the volunteer/placement program, I may be in receipt of confidential information including but not limited to client identities, materials, records, memoranda, data and results pertaining to, arising from or containing particulars of confidential information. I agree that I shall not at any time while I am providing volunteer/placement services for the City of Toronto or at any time after those services are completed, disclose to anyone such confidential information, except as may be required or permitted by law or at the request of the City of Toronto or as required to perform the volunteer/placement services.
- That all material prepared by me, in the performance of my volunteer/placement services, including copyright therein, shall become the sole property of the City of Toronto. I waive any moral rights I may have with respect to all material prepared pursuant to this Agreement in favour of the City of Toronto and any of its assignees and licensees.
NOTICE: Apart from your decision to grant or withhold consent to disclose personal information, pursuant to the provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1990, Subsection 25(2)(b), in the event of a medical emergency the City of Toronto may be required, upon request, to provide any information it possesses, including confidential business information, to a legally qualified medical practitioner and to other such persons as may be prescribed for purpose of diagnosis or treatment.
