Volunteering

Interested in volunteering? If so, how about volunteering with the WRRC!

Why Volunteer?

Volunteering provides opportunities to learn more about oneself and one’s community. For students and young adults, volunteering can also help provide insight into different career paths that may be of interest as well as helping to develop useful skills. Engaging in volunteering not only positivley impacts oneself but also those in the community. 

In order to be able to offer sports programs, workshops, and various child and youth programming within the RM of Whitemouth, the support of volunteers is vital. We cannot run these programs without assistance.

Thank you for your consideration!

For more information on volunteer opportunities please contact the WRRC at:

WRRC Programs & Events

Geocaching!

Looking for something to do which lets you spend time outdoors as well as being physically active? Look no further than Geocaching! An activity that can be done alone or with family and friends, Geocaching allows you to explore your surroundings as you adventure to locate caches. 

Be sure to check out the various geocaches along The Whitemouth River Recreation Trail! 

To get started, create a free geocaching account and download the official Geocaching® app or use a GPS device.

New to Geocaching? 

Stay tuned for an upcoming Introduction to Geocaching event that will help get you out geocaching in no time!

Skip, Hop & Jump: Parent & Child Active Start Program

This is a new program that will certainly get your children up and moving! 

Designed for ages 2-5, children will learn body awareness as they relate to the space around them. They will develop balance, agility and coordination as well as their listening and processing skills as an activity leader guides them through various exercises and movement games. They will do balance puzzles, spatial awareness tasks and will stay busy the full class. 

For older siblings/children ages 6-12, they will be able to participate in "open gym" where an activity leader will facilitate other fun games and activities.

Parents must be present for the program and are encouraged to be engaged and participate with their children. 

Stay tuned to the WRRC website and Facebook as program details (time/date) become finalized!

2020 Whitemouth School Career Fair

Whitemouth School and the Whitemouth School Parent Advisory Council are pleased to invite you to participate in the second annual 'Whitemouth School Career Fair'.

This event aims to provide students of Whitemouth School with an understanding of local careers and job opportunities available now and in the future. 

For local businesses, employers, trades people, etc. there are two different opportunities for participation:

1. There will be a "marketplace" where a booth can be setup to provide students with information about your business/career and answer student questions. 

2. There is also hope that a few individuals would be willing to be keynote speakers and share information about their career with the students. 

Date of Event: Morning of February 28, 2020

If interested in being part of the event, please contact:
