Want to become a volunteer with the Collingwood CPC?

Opportunities 

Becoming a volunteer is great way to give back to your community, and to build memorable experiences and knowledge to use in future endeavors. Becoming a volunteer will allow you to participate in foot patrols, bike patrols, speed watches, and many more programs that are offered. Along with all the programs both inside and outside the office, you may participate in the different community events that the Collingwood CPC supports such as movies nights, pals, and parades. 

There is always room for more volunteers to help out with the Collingwood CPC whether its through one of our patrol programs, or office work inside. Not only do we just cover the Renfrew Collingwood area but also Killarney Mount Pleasent, Cedar Cottage, Fraserview, and Champlain Heights.

Current Volunteers

Zachary Dyck:

Hello everyone, I have been volunteering with the Collingwood CPC for almost two years. I am 20 years old and attending school full time in the criminology degree program with the aspirations of joining the Vancouver Police Department. I volunteer on Wednesday nights as my team and I go out on different patrols programs. While volunteering with the CCPC I also enjoy going to the different outside events within the city that the volunteers are apart of such as the block watch parties, the summer festivals, and the different training seminars that are offered. Volunteering is a great way for me to give back to my community, and build many strong relationships with the people and community around me. I would recommend anyone to help volunteer as it has been a great experience so far, along with many more great experiences to come.
