Event Support Volunteers: Milano–Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter GamesAbout the Canadian Paralympic Committee
The Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC) leads the Paralympic Movement in Canada, supporting athletes as they pursue excellence on the world stage and celebrating the incredible performances and achievements of the Canadian Paralympic Team. At the Milano–Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games, CPC will host Canada Paralympic House presented by Canadian Tire series to bring together athletes, family & friends, supporters, partners, and the Paralympic community across Italy. To support these initiatives, the CPC is seeking event-day volunteers to assist with on-site logistics and guest experience during select evenings throughout the Games.
Volunteers will support CPC-hosted events taking place in three locations: Milano, Cortina, and Predazzo. Events will be held on select evenings between March 6 and March 15, 2026. Volunteers may sign up for one location or multiple locations depending on their availability and travel plans. Each event is staffed independently.
Typical time commitments range from 5 to 6 hours per event, including pre-event preparation and post-event wrap-up. Volunteers will play an important role in creating a welcoming experience for athletes, partners, and guests throughout the Games.
