Why volunteer?
Casino funds are essential to maintain the exceptional quality of the ECMS concert season and Summer Solstice Music Festival. They form an essential part of ECMS’ annual budget. Our exciting 2019/2020 Season features outstanding musicians from Canada, the United States and Europe. It is expensive to bring these internationally acclaimed artists to Edmonton while keeping ticket prices reasonable during times when the Canadian dollar has less buying power compared to the US dollar. We ask for your help in volunteering for the casino.
Volunteers are needed for the positions of Bankers, Cashiers, Chip Runners, and Count Room Workers, and for both daytime and evening shifts. No experience is required for any of the positions; training and support will be provided.
- We provide a complimentary meal in the casino restaurant for all volunteers.
- Those working long shifts (longer than 8 hours) will be entitled to 2 complimentary meals per shift. (Meals purchased outside the casino will not be reimbursed.)
- Snacks are also provided in the volunteer lounge throughout all shifts.
- Volunteers who are unable to drive or who prefer not to drive during the late hours may have taxi fare reimbursed if they provide their receipts.
- Child care expenses may also be reimbursed.

Put your talents to work!
The Edmonton Chamber Music Society (ECMS), a well-established volunteer-run community organization, has an opportunity for skilled, committed volunteers to serve on various working groups and the Board of Directors.
For over 60 years ECMS has been bringing internationally renowned chamber musicians to Edmonton. Serving thousands of appreciative audience members, our concert seasons offer a range of programming from early music to contemporary works performed by instrumental and vocal soloists, small chamber orchestras and traditional string quartets. Since 2008 ECMS has also successfully produced a Summer Solstice Music Festival in June of each year, bringing chamber musicians together for a diverse array of concerts, master classes and outreach events.
Board Members
The fine concerts presented by the Edmonton Chamber Music Society are organized and implemented through the work of many volunteers. The Board of Directors is responsible for governance, strategic planning and effective management of the resources of the Society.
Our Board members act in both a governance and a working capacity. The Board holds approximately 10 evening meetings and one strategic planning session per year. Some roles require knowledge of classical music. All roles are challenging and allow volunteers to either use their existing skills and knowledge, or learn new things, work with others or independently.
We have the following vacancies on the Board of Directors to fill:
President
The President is responsible for providing leadership of the organization so as to continue to attract and maintain a loyal and satisfied audience. The organization organizes up to 12 chamber music concerts annually, comprised of a regular season, a summer festival and events in more relaxed concert venues.
As President you ensure that governance and operational matters are completed in accordance with the bylaws of the Society and meet the requirements of multiple funding bodies. You establish effective management, fundraising, meetings and Committee processes so as to support effective participation of Board members and volunteers.
