Festival du Voyageur

We learned how to work as a team and were given the chance to improve our french communication skills. Also, we learned the importance of flexibility and cross-training. Without those two things, the festival would not be as successful as it is annually. 


A typical day of volunteering can involve anything from scanning tickets at the entrances, painting faces at the arts and crafts tent, watching over camp fires or pushing kids down toboggan slides. No matter what it involves, the experience is always a positive one that is tempting to repeat the year after! Hence all of the seasoned volunteers the festival has in their roster! 


The hardest part of the job is probably bearing the cold Winnipeg winter weather, but you are given breaks and if you come prepared with tons of layers, it's usually okay.

Plenty of heavy lifting, hauling, transporting equipment with trailers, loading/unloading, operating heavy machinery and carpentry.  Played an important role keeping everything running smoothly during the festival.  Learned to setup and teardown large tents. Management was great when communication was open and organized.  A wide mix of co-workers, some quite cooperative and knowledgeable.

Getting ready for a festival is amazing, the team work is unbelieveable ! Very fast paced, stressful and challenging. The rewards are fantastic, when it all comes together. I learned so much about people, cultures and values while doing this job.

I cleaned tents, made crafts with children and scanned tickets while greeting visitors. My co-workers were friendly and outgoing. It was cold outside but it was worth it and they supplied hot paws for our hands.

This workplace gave me lots of experience dealing with children of all different ages.This workplace was also able to offer me chances to practice some of my less developed skills such as using different types of vocabulary to best accomodate the situation.

I loved working at Festival du Voyageur and am planning on working there again next year. It is managed by amazing people and is the most friendly environment. I loved feeling a part of the french culture and being a part of such a great program.

Great management and it’s paid training which is wonderful they always answer your questions and they surround you with people who all want to succeed.
