Casino Volunteering Opportunity

SAiF is looking for volunteers to help at our Casino Fundraiser on December 19 and 20, 2026.


This is a wonderful opportunity to support SAiF and help raise much-needed funds that directly contribute to our programs and services. Volunteers are needed for a variety of casino positions, and no previous experience is required as training will be provided.


Meals and snacks will be provided during your shift.


If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out for more information or to sign up. We would greatly appreciate your support!

Other Volunteering Opportunities


Event Volunteers

Annually we have our Red Shoe Gala in October - and our Annual Sunny Side Up Breakfast in May. We are looking for volunteers to assist in such areas as: set up, registration, greeting guests, and clean up.


In the coming months we'll be starting our "SAiF Spaces" lunches - a free event where people can come and enjoy lunch, hear about what SAiF does, and be inspired by hearing about changed lives! We are looking for volunteers to assist with set up and clean up.

 

Administrative Volunteers

We will soon be launching efforts to be more intentional about our relationships with our supporters. We are looking for volunteers to assist with hand printed thank you letters, thank you phone calls, and thank you cards.


If you're interested in either of these opportunities, please reach out to Tanya at tanya@saifsociety.ca.

Sponsor a Space and

Support Our Clients in their Healing Journey


Looking for a unique way to support the work done at SAiF? Now you can sponsor a space in our new office. We currently have four opportunities available for sponsorship. The sponsorship commitment for the offices is $1,000/month for 12 months, and $1,500/month for 12 months for the Ireen Slater SAiF Space, named in honour of our founder.


A special plaque will be installed outside of a room recognizing you or our organization as a sponsor, and a tax receipt will be issued at the end of the year. You’ll also receive a framed image of the sponsorship plaque beside the door so you can proudly share your support of SAiF, to say nothing of the social media posts, and website space declaring our eternal gratitude.


If you're interested in learning more, or want to sponsor a room, please contact our Executive Director, Mark Dixon, at 780-460-2195 ext. 306 or by email: mark@saifsociety.ca
