Are you curious about what a Scottish Highland games is?  Read on.

A highland games and Scottish festival is a movable feast of music, competition, dancing and athleticism taking place all day long, often at the same time. It started way back in the highlands of Scotland hundreds of years ago.  As Scots immigrated around the world, their Games came with them.  A Scottish highland games has been held in the Vancouver area for more than 100 years.  It's grown bigger with the years, so we need specific volunteers for the following dates:

Friday, June 19:  A free-evening of live Celtic music, professional piobaireachd (classical music of the pipes), Tartan Run, vendors, whisky school.
Saturday, June 20: A full day of activities requiring volunteers: 7am-10pm. Each volunteer shift is 4-5 hrs.

In exchange for your contribution of time, we’ll give you free entry, a cool Highland Games t-shirt and a light lunch. We also offer accreditation for high school, college and university students who need volunteer hours.
