To help you choose a department to become a volunteer at the Rodéo d’Ayer’s Cliff, you will find a description of each of the available positions.

Volunteers will be required to sell beverages at one of our various fixed bars on site. They must be 18 years of age or older. Hours are subject to change.

Volunteers will be responsible for filling out inventories for the various bars on site so that the bars always have the necessary equipment to sell drinks. Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.

Volunteers will be stationed at the back ticket booth on Westmount Street and will greet campers who have reserved their campsite online, as well as welcome rodeo and gymkhana competitors. Preferably, the people at the entrance will have to be fluent in both official languages, English and French.

The volunteer will greet volunteers as they arrive at the site. He/she will also make sure that all volunteers are directed to the right places on the site. The volunteer must be familiar with the festival in order to direct the volunteer to the right areas and give them the right instructions.

In case of heat, the volunteer will be able to go back to rest and cool down several times an hour.

Following the festival, interested volunteers will assist members of the organizing committee to clean up the grounds of the Ayer’s Cliff Agricultural Fair.

As opposed to cleaning, the volunteer will participate in the preparation of the site in order to receive all the festival-goers and to ensure the smooth running of the event.
