Volunteer Safety
1. Wear proper footwear – For volunteer safety you must wear sturdy footwear with closed toes. CSA approved safety boots are best but running shoes and other boots are accepted. Volunteers not wearing closed toe shoes will not be able to participate….No sandals or flats please.
2. Dress for the weather – Events will happen “rain or shine” (cancelled only if thunder/lightning) so wear weather-appropriate clothing. Wear layers to be able to add or remove clothes depending on the weather.
3. Insects – You will be working in and around natural areas and can come in contact with insects such as bees, wasps or ticks. If you have insect allergies, please notify the event leader when you arrive at your event. Light coloured clothing and long pants tucked into your socks will help prevent contact with insects.

4. Be sun smart and stay hydrated – We recommend a hat, sunscreen, long sleeves, long pants and a refillable bottle of water. You will be doing physical work and will need to stay hydrated. The City will have water available for refills.
5. Dust/Mould – Volunteer activities involve the use of wood chips which are often dusty and can contain mould. Similar to ragweed, dust and mould can be potential allergens even though found naturally in the environment. If you have asthma, allergies, or respiratory problems and would like the use of a mask, please request one from the event organizer when you arrive.
6. Gloves/Water – Participants are to bring their own gloves (pref. gardening gloves) and drinking water.
