Share your passion for Vancouver

Destination Vancouver volunteers play a key role in making sure visitors have a fantastic time in Vancouver.

From April to October, we have a dedicated team of over 190 knowledgeable volunteers. They share information with locals and visitors across Vancouver and at our information desk locations downtown.

Volunteers offer a local perspective

As a volunteer, you will help with directions, offer recommendations, and share tips for exclusive discounts on entertainment and sightseeing tickets.
