Update: Thanks to everyone who has signed up for a shift, we're nearly full! But we need your help to fill the remaining shifts and a few backups in case others are unable to make it to their shift. 

Please contact Nature Alberta's Casino Chair, Jaynne Carre, at jaynnecarre@gmail.com or (780) 710-9051 to volunteer.

  • sorter - Sorts all cash or chips by denomination
  • counter - Counts the sorted cash or chips, by denomination
