Special event volunteers help out during events at the Bruce County Museum. Some of the activities includes helping with kids crafts, greeting visitors, helping with food prep, providing usher services to our theatre or helping with the bar if they are SmartServe certified. Examples of some of the events this year at the Museum include: TIFF movie screenings, special holiday events including our annual "Light up the holiday" event, youth camps and PA Day camps, speaker events and so much more!

PM Dog Care Team Members report to the Dog Care Coordinator and help to maintain the general health and welfare of the dogs in our care at the Animal Centre. In part this is achieved by participating in our Canine Enrichment Program to provide mental and physical stimuli to these dogs. To support the wide range of dog behaviours and needs we encounter at the GTHS, PM Dog Care Team Members complete a Dog Care Program*; quickly progressing from Green dogs (ie. puppies and seniors who are easy to walk and handle) to Yellow dogs (ie. young, rambunctious, pullers who can be slightly difficult to walk and handle), then work through the Orange and Purple levels at their own pace, with the ultimate goal of working with Red dogs (ie. strong, reactive dogs that are difficult to walk and handle, and that may have other behavioural issues). *Training is required upon joining the Dog Care Team and will be required intermittently to progress through the Dog Care Program.
