Oot & Aboot - 2026 Annual Volunteer Appreciation & Community Potluck

Slow down. Connect with nature. Find your people. This year, we're taking a moment to say thank you — to the volunteers who've given their time, energy, and heart to make Oot & Aboot what it is. Join us for a relaxed lunch in the park, potluck-style, as we celebrate our amazing volunteers with certificates and a proper thank-you from the board. And then, because good things are better shared, we're opening the afternoon up to the whole Oot community — Ooters, allies, friends and family — to come along, bring a dish, and celebrate with us. What to expect: A heartfelt thank-you and certificate presentation for our 2026 volunteers A relaxed, no-pressure potluck lunch — bring a dish to share if you're joining the community session Good company, good food, and good vibes in the great outdoors What to bring: A plate of food to share (savoury, sweet, snacks — whatever you love to bring to a potluck!) A picnic blanket or chair Yourself, and anyone you'd like to bring along For safety and privacy reasons, the exact location will be provided only to confirmed ticket holders and can be found on the ticket sent via email after RSVP. Please remember to check your junk or spam folder if you don’t see it in your inbox. This is a free event, open to volunteers, participants, allies, and anyone keen to be part of the Oot community. Please RSVP so we can get a sense of numbers for the day. Come as you are, and come find your people.
