The Hangar Flight Museum

The Hangar Flight Museum's next fundraising Casino participation will be occurring on January 5 & 6, 2025. This is just following the holiday season, which can be a challenging time of year to find enough volunteer participation. Volunteering is a perfect way to support The Hangar, even in a one-time fashion. Date: January 5 and 6, 2025 Location: Elbow River Casino Free meal, snacks and drinks will be provided.  Free underground parking is available. No experience needed. Training will be provided onsite.  Volunteers will work as a group, will not be placed with players. Always fun and relaxing volunteer experience!   This fundraising Casino will raise around $80k for the museum to cover lots of building operations costs, utilities, inspections, repairs, supplies and more.   If you have any questions, please contact Emily at volunteer@thehangarmuseum.ca before December 20.
