Spring Clean-up Weekend

Held each spring, this is a great opportunity to lend a hand and help prepare Killarney Provincial Park for the camping season. We clean and rake roads and campsites, rehabilitate disturbed areas by planting trees, and undertake special projects like rehabilitating trails and building boardwalks. 

“It's not a cleanup weekend, it's an event. [...] People would say to me, ‘Well, that's a lot of work to do up there’. I just know we're having fun.”
- Ron Duncan, Long-Term Volunteer

Volunteer Opportunities 
For our general volunteers, we have a range of tasks lined up to spruce up our beloved park. From garbage cleaning around campgrounds to adding signage on trails, there's something for everyone to get involved in!

For those with some experience in carpentry and repair we will be replacing duckboards towards Lumsden Lake, as well as repairing docks and decks as requested by the maintenance team in Killarney. This task requires some heavy lifting and prior carpentry/construction knowledge, so if able to help, let us know when you RSVP.

There will be supplies and equipment provided by the Park however if you have your own equipment including but not limited to; shovels, buckets, rakes, or yard gloves; make sure to bring them along.
