1. Is there a minimum number of hours volunteers can work?

SAQ New France Festival volunteers can be available for only a few days. However, they must be available for a minimum of 4 hours per day over at least 2 days in order to ensure that this huge event runs like clockwork.

2. If I register as a volunteer, am I free to take part in all event activities?

Yes. You will receive an effigy with your first assignment that provides access to all event sites and shows.

All FNF volunteers also enjoy:

- A meal during each assignment

- One free event t-shirt

- An invitation to the volunteers party

- A prize draw at the volunteers party (with prizes worth over $6,500)

3. When does the working day start and end for volunteers?

Your schedule will depend on your availability. All sites are open from noon to 11 p.m. with the exception of the Seminary Courtyard on concert evenings.

4. Will volunteers be fed?

Yes, volunteers will have access to meals or snacks, depending on how long they work for.

5. What’s the next step once I register as a volunteer?

Once your application has been saved in our system using the nouvellefrance.qc.ca website, someone in charge of recruitment will contact you to go through the information in your file. This person will confirm your preliminary schedule, the times of upcoming social activities, and when your committee will receive training.
