Volunteer Opportunities
CERV Middlesex stands for Community Emergency Response Volunteers, which is a county-wide program to improve safety and security in our communities – large or small, urban or rural. Operating at the grassroots level, CERV Middlesex trains volunteers to help within their own communities by preparing for emergencies based on local risks. CERV volunteers meet the challenge when an emergency strikes, be it a flood, a severe storm, a major power failure or another unexpected hazard.
CMHA Middlesex is here to encourage you along your mental health journey.

North Middlesex District High School
We value and recognize that volunteers enhance the learning experiences of our students and strengthen school and community partnerships. Volunteering is an opportunity to model and promote the value of developing positive relationships as caring and contributing citizens within our community.
- Schools welcome parents, guardians and community members as volunteers who support the life of the school (such as field trips, breakfast programs, school council, safe arrival or careers day).
- Please contact your school for specific volunteer opportunities within the school.

Friends of Ye Olde Towne Hall - Ailsa Craig
A nonprofit is as strong as the community that holds it up. Together, we can do more than we can do alone. Let's bring our abilities and passions together.
There are many ways to join us and support our mission. Volunteering for the Towne Hall can be as simple as spending one hour maintaining the garden or being a greeter or selling tickets just before a performance. Too busy to volunteer? Become a member to show your support for the many activities we organize for every age, from children to seniors.
Contact us to find out more about volunteer opportunities, fundraising events, and ways that you can get our message to your friends and family.
Community Groups
In 1973, 45 years ago, Charles Garrod, Douglas Williams and Doug McNair came up with the idea of turtle racing. Charlie (as he was known in town) and his wife Ruth, went to Boissevain, Manitoba. While they were there, they saw the Great Turtle Derby. Their turtle derby, which is no longer running, was a much bigger event than that of our community.
North Middlesex Farmers Market
