If you’re looking to be part of one of Canada’s largest cycling events you are in the right place. Join us as a volunteer at the RBC GranFondo Whistler!

Squadra are the volunteers at the heart of the event every year, and it simply wouldn’t run without the hard work, smiles, and dedication of our 600+ volunteers.

In return, all RBC GranFondo Whistler volunteers receive a t-shirt, swag bag, access to exclusive discounts and competitions and the chance to meet new people and make new friends. AND it’s a lot of fun.

Volunteer registration is officially open for the season! You can volunteer in Whistler, Vancouver and everywhere in between on the beautiful Sea to Sky highway.

Part of a group? We have a small fund available to donate to your organization or cause in return for 10+ volunteers. Get in touch to find out more.

“There is no shortage of words to describe how fantastic it is to be a part of the GranFondo – Squadra Team. For many years it has been the highlight of my summer activities.

I have had the privilege of participating on the volunteer side of the event for over 10+ years. It has been an extremely rewarding experience to be part of such a premiere cycling event.

“When I first came to BC I was in awe of the “spirit of the volunteer” that permeates this province. It elicits the best in people and generates a perpetual excitement at the events that unfold all summer.
“When I first became involved, the GranFondo group were encouraging and welcoming. It turned out to be one of the my all time favourite experiences! Everything was well organized, and the other volunteers alongside me were simply awesome! The camaraderie we developed was immeasurable, and many  return as friends year after year.

“I have met riders and volunteers from a wide variety of backgrounds and destinations. The GranFondo has an international flavour, filled with excitement, endurance, commitment and total positive energy. The enthusiasm of the Squadra volunteer teams is beyond limits. The ambassadors that give their time – at the start, along the route, and at the grand finale in Whistler – are truly amazing people. We could not host the event without all their hard work, dedication and efforts. It is the people that keep me coming back.

“If you are able and eager, please join us for a great day (or weekend)! You won’t be disappointed – there is something for everyone!”
