In order to put on this annual event, we could not do it without our volunteers. Our mandate is ‘many hands make light work’. We are always looking for volunteers to help us in site set-up and take-down, parking, gate admissions, info booth help, security and much more. We are also looking for passionate history enthusiasts who are interested in the planning committee. Please send your emails to 1812@glengarrypioneermuseum.ca or info@glengarrypioneermuseum.ca
The Macdonell’s Company is a not-for-profit living history organization created to interpret, promote and educate people about a historic regiment that was raised during the onset of the War of 1812 by Alexander Macdonell of St. Raphael’s, Ontario. We are looking for candidates who have a love of history and speaking to the public. Our members participate in living history reenactments throughout Ontario, Quebec and upstate New York. No experience is necessary, except for an open mind and a willingness to learn. If you can picture yourself dressing up as a soldier of 1812, then you are more than half way there.
