Curling Alberta is seeking volunteers for the Curling Alberta Biennial Casino being held at the Pure Casino in Edmonton, 7055 Argyll Road on Thursday, August 31st and Friday, September 1st, 2023. There are a number of volunteer roles and shifts available and any shift that you can assist with would be greatly appreciated. 

Casino fundraising plays a crucial role in the success of many not-for-profits, including Curling Alberta. We rely on the support of our curling community and volunteers like yourself to ensure the success of our casino. The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) allows us to receive revenue from gaming activities which will be used towards programs and projects to support the long-term viability for all of curling in Alberta.
