Portobello West is looking for eager volunteers for their annual Summer Outdoor Street Market on September 9th, 2023 from 10am-5pm. In partnership with the South Granville Business Improvement Association, the market this year will feature 44 local BC vendors with activities and enticing products for everyone!

All volunteers will receive a Portobello West Volunteer Certificate of Appreciation, specifying the number of hours worked. Engaging as a volunteer with Portobello West offers a great way to boost your resume, engage with and learn more about your community, and is a great opportunity for individuals interested in a role in event planning, hospitality, public relations, or project management.
